very clean lookin boat...nice

[dry3]

Thanks, it really is a clean well kept boat for 16 years old! This is one you don't see everyday. Shoot you don't see a gambler everyday especially one of these. It will be interesting to see what the market bares when i put it on the market to ugrade to a 20 footer someday.

Wow! That is one well-kept boat!!!! It looks almost new!

(I'm lurking here 'cause my buddy, Mike --Champ 203 250XB is getting a Gambler)

Impressive boats!!

[dartman]

looks neat,are they the rod lockers on the side.

[dry3]

Yes, there are (2) 10' rod lockers on each side with rod holders for (12) rods in each box. The (2) smaller lids right next to cockpit are livewells (1) on each side and tons of storage even a storage compartment in the front big enough for a 6 ft 250lb man to be able to get into and close the lid during an extremly bad storm"i did it once"

I see you have a recessed pedal in there?? What type and how was the installation?? I thought about it but was concerned with room under there. Thanks Lee by the way-very nice boat

[dry3]

Lee, the installation was easy it only takes about 5" clearance underneath. The only problem was cutting a gambler deck "man them decks are tough and laminated on both sides the jig saw took forever, roto zip burned up bits, finally a sawz all took care of it. It took about 30 minutes to cut "jeez" but the GAMBLER decks are major quality.

The end result is well worth it!

[dartman]

do you know how many of them were made? how long is her?

[dry3]

From what i have been told very few were made, they were originally made as a serious tournament bass boat made for (2) guys and some serious fishing. from what i understand most ended up stripped and severely lightened by someone thru the years and were turned into some kind of race hull "this is just what i have heard hear say. It would be nice to know how many were made?

But one thing is for sure you don't see them at the lake but on a rare occassion, most of the time its kind of like showing up at the boat ramp not just with a GAMBLER but being naked everybody wants to have a look.

don, my hats off to ya, that thing only looks about three weeks old! well done... ...........kp

There's one around here. They are a FAST little dude to. The one around here has a 150 or 175 Rude Faststrike. He walks away from Procrafts, Tritons, Rangers all with 225. They are an awesome boat to, all deck. I'd like to have a new one.

[dry3]

They are a nice fishing platform and runs well to! Mine loaded to fish runs 75 GPS and is out of the water and flying not just the bow but the transom lifts very high it will not only chine walk it will prop walk. the weird thing is this boat runs as well loaded as it does with just me in it. I will keep it until i find me a CLEAN 1992 Earnhardt dual console someday. But all in all it is a joy to own and fish from

Thanks

Nice boat!!!!!! I thought my 87 looked good but it looks like a chevette compared to yours. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of her

[horseshoer]

[FishNH]

Don, all your hard work really paid off, the boat really looks great. Like you say, "you don't see a center console every day," if fact I've never seen one. Great job my friend
