While everyone else is going batty over the new Pro-V Bass, Here's their new offering that's really tripping my trigger!  My love for the 2075 Tyee is waning due to the larger front deck of the Pro-V and the fact the sides aren't as high, making it a better Great Lakes bass boat than the Tyee.

 

2175 Pro-V rated for 350HP

 

 

After some research, as much as I'd LOVE to have a 350 on the back of it.....the Yamaha F350 is just too d**n heavy at 763#. The Verado 350 is too expensive at almost $29k. The Yamaha F300 strikes a happy median at 562# and around $23k. I really don't think giving up 50hp is all bad if you're dropping 200# too.

That things massive!

Big footprint but pretty expensive.

No doubt. I'm betting it'll start in the upper 60s with a 300 or low/mid 70s with a 350.

 

 

 

edit:

on the website, building a 2075 Pro-V with 300 Verado yields a $66.3k price tag.  I'm gonna say the 2175 will start in the lower 70s.  Maybe I don't want one that bad now!!

Heck, if you're gonna spend that much you might as well go big or go home! Go for that 350!

I'm a big supporter of the 'max it out club' but i don't think the additional 50hp is worth the extra 200# with Yamaha or the extra money and 100# for the Verado. If it was like going,from a 225 to a 250 where there is no weight difference, I'm all for it, but that's like adding another passenger.

Yeah, I hear ya. I was just being "that guy" lol. The only advantage I see to the 350 would be the fact that it's a V8. You don't gain all that much in horsepower, but I would imagine it'd have more torque to it making it noticeably more responsive. But I'm just speculating since I've never drove a boat that big or with either of the motors mentioned.
