    202 or 203.

    Guys, my wife and I have decided what we are gonna do about the Bogus 210 I bought last September. It's unfortunate what we have to do to get off the boat, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. It's gonna stink for a while financially but we will recover. I have my Performance fishing apparel business that is surrounded by fishing, and I will need a boat in the spring. I would love to have a 202 or 203 but in the price range of about $12-14K. Please keep your eyes peeled throughout the fall and winter. I'm not opposed to driving across country as I have for my last two boats. I will have a total inspection of the boat know matter the condition. This has been a huge financial lesson that unfortunately My wife and I will have to eat. It's ok though, I've been more positive lately talking with my lawyer. I know beggars can't be choosers BUT NO F&S boats. I'm looking for Bass only. SC is preferred but a D.C. Is fine if it's the right boat. Anyway, I appreciate all of your help guys. No way in hell I can get into another boat. Once your in a champ, you get spoiled. Thanks again.

    I'll keep my eye out, but I sure would be talking to a reputable shop about seeing if they can repair your 210 through the starboard rod locker... I don't know if it's possible to do it right going that route vs. a cap-off, but worth asking a true professional about.

    I test drove a 203 for a friend when he purchased about a year ago and it's a great hull. A little tight at the helm for a tall person like me, but it rode great. See if you can meet with an owner of each and "ride and decide".

    Good luck, whatever you decide!!

    Thank you. Even if I wanted to get it fixed I have no insurance claim. I feel it's not the right boat for me. I absolutely love the 210 but I should of took it back when we first had issues. It's my fault. A very expensive lesson. But a 202 or 203 is what I'm in search of. Thank you for keeping your eye out.

    I don't have a short version for this one. Previous damage, all I can say.

    Will keep an eye out. Any chance you could get your previous 202 back? You have a 202 before, yes?

    I really like that Memphis rig as well. Just a beautiful boat. I called on it but didn't get a reply yet. Yeah I had a 95' 202. Loved the boat but was in search for a 210 and it came across. He loves that 202 and won't come off it.


    found this one...

    Says 19.5ft, maybe it's a 201? I'm not trying to spend your money, price just caught my eye what with your whole situation and all.
