2010 Favorite Fiberglass Boat Poll

[marine_man]

If you were to buy a new fiberglass fishing boat, what brand would it be?

Here are the results from 2009, when you could make 2 selections:

And 2008 (only 1 selection):

I say this cause I just bought a Skeeter.

Kinda nice nowadays to have a choice between a lot of good glass boats.

[Carpenter]

I really like my Tyee GL but have difficulties liking the local Lund glass dealers. But some of them are Ranger dealers too, so I'd be hosed either way. I guess dealers are just necessary evils. My very close second would be Ranger.

ya dealers are pain

best thing is use them for warrenty stuff

other wise just try to do any thing you can yourself

my old boat i took apart from back to front at one time or the other

then i knew excatly what i had and if it broke on the water i could usally figure out what the problem was and fix most of the time

this new one is still new so not to much to do on it yet

hopefully not for along time

guess you have to take the good with the bad!

Since Ranger is an 80% market share in Minnesota this is a biased poll

Sorry dude but I'm not following your logic. How is a poll that lists 14 boat brands, including all the major brands, biased towards Ranger?

[gregg52]

what the hec is a bass cat

[Larson15]

What I mean by it is that ranger has a market share of 80% in the fiberglass boat market in Minnesota so the results of this poll are going to be somewhere close to that number. In other states most other brands have higher market share and its more evenly spread out.

[Larson15]

BassCat is one of the best bass boats made.

Warrior and Champion are not making boats anymore.

[yaggie]

It appears to me that only one other person on this board besides me has a Triton.

[bassNspear]

also appears that if everyone had 60K to spend on a boat, they would buy a ranger.

[Larson15]

I got a triton and love it but if I had my pic I would be in a basscat or legend

[gregg52]

Who makes these Bascats or sells them

are they a deep south boat

never really heard of them

i'm not a bassin guy

but just curious

[toddb]

Yaggie,

I think I have the same boat as you. I replied to your PM on WCentral but you never got back to me. Shoot me a PM if you still have any ?'s.

Has anyone looked at the new Fincraft boats that Genmar is making in little Falls

[Kodiak]

i have a tuffy but if i had the 50k i would have a ranger multispecies.

[JohnMickish]

if i had the 50k i would have a ranger multispecies.

Pretty hard to find fault in that logic. I believe most of us feel the same way.

[yaggie]

Toddb,

I picked up a Triton Allure. I do have a question. email me [email protected]

[Sutty]

If I had 60 grand towards a boat I'd still not buy a Ranger. I am thinking about getting a glass boat next and if I do I am currently leaning towards a Yarcraft or Skeeter. You get a lot more boat for your money in my opinion.
