I've fished out of an Astro 18FSX since it was new in '92 and am finially lookin' for a boat with a front deck like an aircraft carrier.  My Astro has been an out standing boat.  Found an Astro F-20 and was wondering if I could get any pros/cons on it or the 225 high performance merc on the back of it. Thanks

I don't know about that particular model but I like Astros in general. Does anybody know why those guys aren't making bass boats anymore?

I don't know about the F20 but I have a 1989 18FSX and it has served me well. In regards to Astro not making bass boats any more I think it was a marketing decision. When Brunswick first brought out the new boat line in I think 1989 Astro and Procraft were identical except for the decals. No data involved in this opinion.

The only proble I have is the front deck control panel is starting to crack and I haven't been able to find a replacement.

I love mt Astro!!! I have a 1989 Quickfire 16' with a 45 hp and also have a model 1994 SD 20 S Astro. The deck is nice and wide, stable to fish from and runs well on plane. I also have had some problems finding parts, but overall I am happy as a clam with my boats.

Vince, Any suggestions where I can find parts?
