Older G's vs newer?

[aphillip]

I have a 1995 209 and love it. I am looking for a newer Gambler and was wondering what year after 95 did gambler make a change in the design of the hull or keel? How much better do the newer gamblers run than the older ones, like a 95 vs an 03-05.
Thank you

I think 2000 was the year that the hull recieved the "Nils Notches" on the bottom and the passenger compartment was moved back toward the transom about 6-8 inches. Trolling motor is centered on the bow.

I had a 1999 Intimidator 2000 that had the notches (no tabs) and trolling motor centered.

'97 sounds right... there are LOTS of improvements/changes between the '05 and the new models. The only change I don't like is on the Intimidator... the cooler/lunch box is too small on the new models. Everything else I would consider an improvement.

I have a 2007 2100 for sale if you are interested...
