Yeah, for resale go for a ranger or triton! I sold my 01 520 in feb. for $21,000, they hold their value! I think Stratos is a good boat for the money, like a 201, I dont think the resale is very good though.

In my oppion if you are looking for a newer boat at a great price look at a stratus really strong. Especially in the tennessee area you are seeing more and more of them. You get a great all around boat for a price you can handle. The main thing is to look for a boat you will be happy with. Dont limit yourself to a certain brand because you will find people with good and bad things to say about every brand. Just find something you are happy with and dont get in a hurry but have the money ready for when you do find that great deal.

Boats will continue to go down in price and dropping everyday!!!!

I would seriously look into Basscat boats. Saw on their website that they have a "spring Fling: sale. 19' boat 200 hp------around $28,000

Definitely call John Webb----he can get you in just about anything with Bullet being his specialty and Legend being a new line he just picked up. Legend boats sure do look nice!!!!! I am definitely considering them

Then you have your Ranger,Triton and Skeeters----always good to buy name brands and the market is flooded with them for sale right now.
I would have to look for a Ranger in either a R93 series or something in the 520 series!!!!

Good Luck!


I would stick with Mercury for sure!!!!

ALL of you are forgetting about the 1 boat that in my opinion is just as good or better than a ranger and all the others listed! CHAMPION is one of the best in my opinion! But Opinions are like A**holes.... everyone has got one..lol Check out champions website, you will like what you see. I have one and it is an awsome boat
