If you had no money issues, plenty of storage space and lots of time to fish, what would be your dream bass boat setup?

Money no object, I'd have several boats, lol.

George great question, I have never asked you, what would be yours?
I'd like to upgrade my SeaArk to a Stealth 210 with a 175 4 Stroke. My 18' only has a 115 on it. It's plenty fast, but the little extra size and little extra motor would be nice!
If I were a greedier man, the Allison 21 XST is awfully nice.
I have owned mine. Stratos 201 Pro XLDC. It was great fun and all but now I am happier fishing out of my aluminum flat bottom and my alumacraft bass boat.or even my little 8 ft Bass Hunter. These small boats can take me places the big Stratos just couldn't get to and I catch way more fish out of them. Only real advantage was fishing big rough waters or needing to make a long run in a hurry. I don't tournament fish any more so the long runs aren't an issue.
With money no object as I think all bass boats are overpriced I would have to pick up a Skeeter i-class and for the heck of it strap on a 300 yamaha sho for some wow factor! Now, hopefully it catches fish.
That's why I play the lottery twice a week! Dream boat and bills lol
I'll take anything

Gonna take a wild guess and say you weren't one of the 2 mega million winners

Nope trust me this site would have known if I won lol
Champion Mean 16 with a 115
A 20 foot river pro so i could run the river and not worry about getting sunk or stuck and or a 21 foot skeeter or stratos with a 250 4 stroke yamaha both would be rigged to the max
Id have a Merc hanging off the back though.

That boat is sweet

Customized to my use though.... but like Jfrancho i would have a few boats and this one would just be for the river and as far as lakes go.....no clue because if i got a river pro or a rockproof boat i am not sure i would venture to lakes all that often.
Hang 300HP on the back and I'm a happy guy!

IDK what I would have, but what ever it would be, there would be more than one of them so when I break one, I have more.
OK, here is a pictorial of my dream fleet:
For big water smallies:
Pathfinder 2600:
For typical bassin'
Bullet 21 XRS:
A pair of these for kayak fishing:
WS Ride 115:
For the rough stuff:
Xpress Xplorer XP200
For general family fun:
Regal 2500 Bowrider:
I have the boat I always wanted but if money was no object I would have one of these too..

haven't seen those before but i can't see how it works since it uses a prop but it obviously does lol
It's a jet drive. No prop.

take a look at the pics...i thought it was a jet at first too. something about how the hull design pushes water up and through the prop but the boat is essentially on top of the water and not plowing through it.

Click on the Demo's. It is amazing how it works.

I get how verstile this would be for shallow water. My question is how does it get back on plane from a stop in 3.5" of water?
It takes 6" to take off. Crazy.
I'd get a Legend Alpha 211 like this one.
There are a lot of boats that come to mind. I like the older ones like the late 90's Gamblers that were the sportscars of the era. I would probably build a big shop and become a rescue for old bass boats. I mean what the hell they got em for horses. haha
I like the new boats they are very nice but the pricetag turns me off! I have decided to keep my 92' Ranger and deck it out with all the fancy stuff the new ones have like great electronics power poles etc. When the motor craps I 'll buy a new motor for it. As long as the hull is good.

So , you sayin I'm simply predictable ?? LOL !!
Tunnel hulls also create a mass of water between the pontoons that allow a prop or jet drive to work. One of the pics clearly shows a jet drive as well. There's usually a hydraulic jack plate on them too.

Might be cheaper to rent that second one when your available than buy it.

Yea but I still plan on hitting the lottery. $568 Mill can buy one of these measly $18 mill boats no problem!
