After a recent poll came up asking forum members to post about their rides, I came up with a pretty long list of bass boats. The bold text are what "I ASSume" are the most popular.

After reading this please post the make, model, year, and outboard power (make model year) you own. I think it would be great to ask owners about similar setups and compare notes.

Here is my list:

Allison Bass Cat Big O Bullet Blazer Charger Champion G3

Gambler Hydra Sports Javelin Legend Lund Nitro Phoenix

Triton Tracker Viper Cobra Xpress
