I would have a difficult time picking just one.  I didn't see Stratos listed anywhere.  I chose other because I haven't experienced enough of these boats to differentiate between them.

They are ALL sweet in my book, but there is just something about Bass Cats that always catch my eye.

I'm sure the number of opinions of which is the best bass boat will vary as much as the number of fishermen.  Each boat is designed to do something a little different that the others. Some aim for speed, others rough ride handling and others stability at rest when fishing.  Most of those listed in the poll are well made bass boats that will give you many years of good service.

Champion is in there now

best boat....the one thats paid for, floats, and can find fish.  mine is a ragin cajun 17.5 foot 150 merc

Can't really argue with the "One that floats and is paid for".  We just look prettier in our fancy,flashy, fast bass boats....but I would rather loose my house than my boat!!

I personally like the Triton TR-20 with a 225 Yamaha. Great ride and stability with awesome speed. Wife has told me to go ahead and buy but waiting 1 more year where there will be no payments. Years ago had a Glasstron that i thought was the best looking boat sitting in the water I have ever seen.

Gambler is my vote and should definitely be on the list.A big percentage of Gamblers are custom made to order,all fiberglass (no wood to rot) and are awesome all the way around.Speed,fishability,smooth ride etc......go check one out,their craftsmanship is second to NONE!

Other!

Another vote for Gambler.  A buddy of mine had a 1992 model 206 with a 200 carb Merc.  Sucker would do about 72-74mph and was nice and steady once it "poped up" at about 60-65mph.  He sold it and will probably buy another with a bigger motor.

Another buddy just sold his Triton TR21X with a Merc 225 Opti and bought a Skeeter 21i with a Yamaha 300HPDI.  He hates it.  Huge mistake in his opinion.  The boat is absolutly beautiful, fit and finish is great, but it is heavy, slow, and "porpoises" at speeds lower than 50mph.  No amount of setup seems to eliminate the "porpoising"

But I can't really give my 2 cents.  I own an old 14' Landau with an old 25 Johnson in it.  It's set up nice, big casting deck, livewell, 56lb bow mount MG TM but it's still a POS when compared to "real boats"
