Had an 02’ I special ordered and ran till I sold it in 17’, was an awesome boat, ran and handled really well. Only reason I sold was to upgrade to a newer boat.
It’s really to bad ole Johnny Morris canned the brand. One of the best looking boats on the water.

Where did you mount the pumps for your power poles? Do you have one or two power poles? Love my 2008 201 XL.
Not sure …they came with the boat.

I wouldn't trade my 06 for any new boat. I re-powered in 2020 and I will do it again when this one goes. Solid build, wee thought out, smooth ride and faster than hell.
not sure i would trade my 08 for anything

I couldn't agree more. It's such a great riding hull. I had a 200 pro xl that I liked very much. It was totaled when I was rear ended at stoplight. I used the insurance money to by a 05 201 proxl with a 2010 yamaha 250 sho. The 200 was good. The 201 is just great. I would be happy to just keep repowering this boat for the rest of my life if I can get away with it.

How wide are the front deck on these newer 201 boats.
My older 80's boat was very narrow but rode like a caddy. Had good speed for the times.
If I were using the criteria of ride, speed, fishability and lay out as my judgment call I would argue that the 201 is in the top 3 of the best bass boat ever made.
