Fish Head Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm not sure when the last year of the Mr. Pike, but wasn't the Mr. Pike about midway between the Explorer and the Pro V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarsusd81 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I believe it was 2007 for the last year of production on the Mr. Pike series boats. They were laid out perfect for fishing and I don't understand why they weren't more popular. The closest thing to them now is the Predator series boats with the console option. They are pretty close. I was happy to see the Predator and Pro Guide lines come out as they are pretty awesome boats. I prefer tiller boats, and the Pro Guide has what I need in a boat. Until I can afford one though, I will run my 14' footer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I believe it was 2007 for the last year of 17 and 18 foot Mr Pike. You're right, there is nothing quite like that now. The Explorers have the IPS2 hull and a decent HP rating, but do not have the closed gunnels. There is an 18 foot Pro-V, but I assume this is a little higher price point.Who really knows. Why did they take away the Fisherman and then bring it back? I would guess the Mr Pike name will return at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddog Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 From what I’ve seen at boat shows and from talking to sells men. There is a lot more money to be made in selling the bigger boat. So if the sells men don’t want to show them they are not going to sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white80a Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 i guess i will have to look for a used 07 because that is exactly what i want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddog Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 As you can see from some of the posts here, the only way to get a good boat in the 16-17foot class is to redo an older boat. I was looking for a new boat last year. I saw nothing better then my 1983 class 16’ Lund Pro Angler. So I’ll keep using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd4ever Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Funny, I have a 81 Mr. Pike, I re-did it over 10 years ago, needs another overhaul now after looking at ideas and other projects on this site. Love it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
