I really wouldn’t say $50k is a budject bass boat...
200 Hp? Why? so I get to my fishing spot on the lake 10 seconds later with a 40 horse.
@@agentorange2554 if you put a 40 on a 19-21 you probably would go 20 mph lol
@@kuahiwi808 that's really all I need, I'm not in any hurry.
@@agentorange2554 fair enough
@@kuahiwi808 15 minutes more out on the water is 15 minutes less that I have to listen to the wife chew my rear end for being gone all day. There's a method to my madness!!!!
The fact that a 40-60 thousand dollar boat is being considered budget is freaking remarkable to me.
I agree with you. Absolutely crazy.
19~20 ft w/ 200 dual axle should be $27k ~ $29k MAX ... the prices we see today are absolute crazy .. only a mad man or a complete idiot would pay these prices
We wanna see best used boats for less than 25k!
@@Richard-mj5dp looking at purchasing either a Ranger 363 or 375 on the used market. Even with some work, I believe they would be a better deal.
Or how about best used bass boats for 10 Grand or less 😊
Right? For this price range, I'd rather have a mako 214 cc and catch me some red snapper!
@@Richard-mj5dp
No kidding... 60-90hp is more then enough, not trying to win a race here
@@Richard-mj5dp right?? u can have a budget boat, or u can have a $60k boat. u can't have both because that's not in the budget range to any sane mf'er out there 🤷
The best budget bass boat is whichever boat you can pay CASH for.
You are 100% correct on that! 👍🏻
$50 for bayliner bass tropy or $3k for tracker avalanche 😂
Boat a 93 409t javelin from a partner. Put 10k in it. And so glad I did. Been rock solid and it’s paid for.
Yup
That’s right! Only way to go! I just got one of the cleanest cherry red 19.3 champions anyone’s ever seen loaded! Ultrex 112, 12” graphs, rebuilt amazing trailer tandem axel and I paid 17k cash baby! Only way to go
I would love to see a top 5 17 ft and 18 ft bass boat list... please make it happen @Team Marine Service
You can't beat a 175TXW pro team Tracker. I had a 2017 17.5 feet, with 60 hp mercury 4 stroke. Loved that thing man. The front deck was bigger then most 19 foot boats you see. Seriously. Huge front deck. Damn tough boats. Ride alot better then you would think. Not fiberglass but I'm not fan of glass boats.
I'd like to see a top 5 weekend warrior bass boat team talk. Like 20-30k bass boats. Let's get back into the late 90s and early 2000s. Champs, Gamblers, etc.
Or 10-20k. In 2017 my brother got a Skeeter 21' for 10-14k. Had a 225 Yamaha on it
The skeeter got my attention just due to the fact that it comes with a Japanese motor👍
Those sho are some beautiful motors
As a former z19 owner, they are a blissful fishing experience and though it was lacking in certain departments, it proved itself in the NY finger lakes region amongst mainly 21 footers. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat *from a reputable dealership known well for good warranty service*
That last line is important and so true!
Z19 10ft power poles hydrowave all Garmin low 60s. There are several options I added that made it come to that such as 4 wheel disk rod holders etc. It adds up quick. Everyone loves the blue stripe with silver up front and black to the back.
I bought a 1998 Cobra 201D with a 200HP Johnson Venom motor in 2015 for 8K and it's a fantastic boat. Does have original tubular frame trailer and it is rusted but still working.
2019 Triton 18TRX w/ merc 150 (rated for 200) 2 9” mega SI w BBT mounts 24v ultrex jack plate hot foot hyd steer less than 45k new. My perfect boat cause we’re military and it fits in a standard garage.
No argument here! Thanks for your service Thomas! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Great job on your analysis of these boats. I've been researching bass boats for over 2 years. I've gone to multiple bass shows in twin cities over the past 2 years. I'm looking for a competitive tournament bass boat with a reasonable price. This will help me make a decision. Thanks for doing this great video.
You could also have included Bass Cats’ Pantera Classic which is designed to be an entry level tournament boat. It’s spec’d out for a 200 HP limit. It has a different livewell system, but will come in in the low to mid 40s w/ standard options. And is designed w/ BCB quality.
I'm a all American construction worker and my budget is 10k. I bought a 2000 Triton 186 with a 150 merc for 4000 and I'm putting 4000 in it no power poles no hydraulic plate. And I can still go snack around the rich kids running 100k boats. Oh and take the fam 4 fun
I'm a weekend guy. A budget boat is all I need. I caught fish before electronics. Budget boats an angler has to compromise and leave off less important items on a boat that an angler can live without. Its a fact of life for budget buyers-in one of them.
Bought my Skeeter ZX200 with 200 SHO, 7" Lowrance graph, Minn Kota fortrex and single 6' power pole. 38,500. Found a dealer going out of business and they were selling them at dealer cost.
Last time I priced them through the websites when taking into account what was optional equipment on a nitro vs standard equipment on a basscat the basscat was cheaper. Nitro has always been good at appearing to be cheaper at first glance compared to other brands. Biggest way they have done this is by advertising them priced with underpowered packages. I realize you guys took this into account as far as the outboards go
Very interesting! Good to know, thanks buddy!
I bought a new 2019 Z19,200 V8,8 in jack plate,dual console, 24v ultrex, special gel coat,fiberglass tandem fenders, 12 inch Garmin with livescope, 12 inch humminbird mega DI,SI and 360, got around 55k in it.that was with a $1500 discount, because it was a close out 2019 model. Love the boat, love the 200 mercury.
I bought a 2020 triton 19 trx in June. Boat been on dealers lot for a year. 225 pro xs 4 stroke, keel guard, two garmin 9in units with live scope, two 8 ft blades, tandem axle trailer with brakes on all four, front deck is wider than most , and boat is almost 20’ looked at all the boats you listed and triton was my pick for the money and only reason was able to buy full loaded for leas price than the bass cat with 200
Awesome!
I bought a Z19 sport (wanted the extra seating and ski tow ability for the kids) with the 150 (goes 52 mph which is fast enough for me) with twin Lowrance TI2's, Ghost trolling motor and all that for 44K. Love the boat, have had no quality issues.
Thanks great that you and your family are liking it! Glad to hear that there isn't any quality issues on your rig as well.
You have a 150 and only run 52? Wtf
Another brilliant video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Robert! 👍🏻
I did buy a brand new z19 back in 2017 I've had no issues so far, and I've been very happy with it.
Fish Lake Ontario you’ll sink
Pro tip: If you have 40k to spend on a bass boat and are considering a new Nitro, slap yourself and save for another couple years and buy the Basscat!
We completely agree with that!
@J Leicht I think Triton has something to say about that.
@Mekye Barnes there are little things that if your a little handy are no big deal and far worth the savings. For instance glass washer fenders vibrate loose and they dont use stainless hardware. Replacing the hardware yourself when it happens easy fix. It's little details that shouldn't be overlooked for things with these pricetags but by far nothing worth spending 10-30K more for the same type of fiberglass tub with a diff brand name, motor and accessories.
@Mekye Barnes you get what you pay for... better be 08 or older after research. I sunk a 2018 z20 and my buddy sunk his z16 3 years ago
@J Leicht Phoenix makes a nice boat, unfortunately some of their trailers are box frame and will rot out in a few years from the inside out leaving you screwed. Be careful that you upgrade to the channel frame. I like Ranger boats if for nothing else, resale value, looks and a layout design, but agree Phonix would probably be top choice, Basscat....... not so much.
Define tournament! I fished club tournaments for years in a 19 foot triton with a 150...no problem...great boat!
Yep, we'd classify those as tournaments Douglas
Ranger z519 bought new in 2019 been very happy with it fish's alot bigger than it's size lots of storage lots added hydraulic jack plate that really really seemed to improve ride been in lots of boats the ride is good for 19 foot l have the V6 225 low to upper sixty s
Hope this gets seen? Saw video late. I did fully rig a Z19. 2-12”hds, 10” Garmin Livescope, 2-8’ Power Pole Blades, 36v Ultrex, Dual Console. I purchased it bare bones at 34,500. I have less than 45k in it as well as a custom wrap. Unlike others mine has been absolutely trouble free. Trailer has been perfect, and it gets used 200 days a year. So I commented that it is been Fantastic for 2 years thus far. Trouble free again I repeat trouble free. Also it will be on the Toyota Series in 2021 as well.
Thanks , live the videos
Got in a new 2017 Z21 Pro package at the end of that year for under 60K. 240 hours on the old 2 stroke pro xs now, many on Champlain and St Lawrence River, no complaints. Made 12K out of it so far to boot in regionals 😳
Awesome! Keep it up!
Old video but just stumbled across it. I have 51500 invested in my 2021 Z19 pro, without a hydraulic plate or poles. I have a Helix 8 up front and Helix 8 and 10 all mega units and an 80 lb ultrex that moves the boat more than well enough. For the money you really can't go wrong on these newer Nitros.
Rocking a 18'6" Crestliner, 115 merc, single stick and great electronics. $18k, happy :)
I like your style, keep up the great videos and straight talk.
Would like to know your thoughts on the older 1998-2001 Xpress 19 footers with the yamaha v max 150
I'm looking at a used mercury 200, 2000 model, what should the competition be, and what would be a fair price.
I have 2005 nitro for 12 years its been bullet proof not one issue
So do you only do bass boats ? I have a 16 ' classic glastron right now it has a 70 hp evinroude. 2 stroke. As I live in California and I am seeking the writing on the wall 2 strokes are going out . My boat is scheduled to have a 115 hp . I want to upgrade to a 4 stroke . But I don't have 10 , for a motor. I am wondering if you have extream budget/ used 4 stroke options.
I bought the 2021 Z19 Pro with a lot of the extras already on it. The boat has been great. The tandem axle trailer was trash. I’ve lost so much fishing time due to this trailer. Finally had to have both axles replaced (fortunately under warranty). Hopefully now I can take the great bass boat ti the lake when I want without worrying if my wheels are coming off.
I got my 2018 aluminum flat bottom 20x6 for about 30,907.88 thats with my motor still need other parts for it so that price will keep adding up i still need a gas tank some fuel line hoses a console a few other small items
Awesome video. What are your opinions on Charger bass boats? Are they built pretty good or are they built similar to the Nitro bass boats? Thanks.
To be honest it has been years since we've seen a charger up close and that older one had some build quality issues. We are eager to see a new model up close.
I am on my 2nd Bass Cat PII. as the man says on any of these boats you can get them into the 60's, I have a 2020, and its Bad Ass, but yes it was 60K!. If your in the Market for a 19 footer, look at the Bass cat PII special Package. Another great Video guys!
Great advice Steve! Thanks
I just stumbled onto your channel and this video. I found it informative. Ive been a bass bank fisherman my whole life. I would like to buy a bass boat but not for tournament fishing, so i dont need a 200 motor. Do u have any videos or websites, or recommendations on a kind of beginner bass boat (16 - 18ft) in size. Do i buy new or used? Im thinking aluminum boat? Motorwise would I be in 75-100 hp? Thx for any guidance u can give me.
Thanks Mike, this is our best advice...ua-cam.com/video/aHhD-HXgFKQ/v-deo.html
Bought a 2021 19Trx with a 225. 51.5 out the door. Ultrex, manual plate. No poles. 9” and 7” graphs. I couldn’t be happier. Didn’t have to take a loan. All the boat I need. Gonna upgrade graphs. It’s beautiful, it’s paid for. I just hope it holds up as good as my 1998 Tr19 that I bought in 1998 . Sold that baby in 2 days. Hated to see her go
Last year I bought a 2019 Nito Z19 pro, it came with a tandom axle trailer, 200 4 stroke, (2) 9 inch Humminbirds, 80 # Ultrex, (1) power pole, twin console with a manual jack plate for $45.025 before tax
Wow that's a great deal!
@James Wilson until it sinks like mine
@@brayloneggerding4560 was it a new 2018-2020 nitro. because i've been in 5 foot waves with my z18 and never speared a wave and never even thought of being un safe and sinking my boat. if you sunk your nitro in waves you aren't a very good driver.
@James Wilson delamination never speared a wave and was on st clair constantly
@@Oldtrickshotss z20 was a 2018 sadly
dude!love your candor and honesty!..im looking at these class of boats now.to me,its looking like a bbc pantera classic!i would rather buy once and cry once!you guys must be up in wisco somewhere?..subbed!
I still fish tournaments out of a 1990 nitro 2000dc with a 200 evinrude XP that somehow still pushes it 70 mph and hasn’t blown up. Gave $1700 for that boat years back lol looks like hell Ol son
Haha awesome! Ain't nothing wrong with that if it's still getting the job done....someone's still gotta smell of 2 stroke exhaust in these 4 stroke days!
Phoenix 819 and the falcon 195 are top choices for the working man budget.
Both are solid choices Joe! 👍🏻
I'll keep rocking my $2,000 84 hydrosport vl475. It drinks a lot of fuel and only runs about 55 but it's still a good little fishing boat.
@Team Marine Service i currently own 82 skeeter sierra with 83 merc 90 tower of power i love it does what i need it to and fishes local tournaments great.
What are your opinions about the 17ft fiberglass boats, for example the Nitro z17 or bass cat margay? Is there a reason your looking 19 and up? Thanks in advance
In our opinion 19ft would be the smallest glass rig we'd go with. However the Margay is probably a good rig (We like Basscat's) but the Nitro probaly isn't (We don't like Nitros)
These top "boats/ motors" videos are fantastic! What about a top used bass boats under $15k? There are a lot of boats out there in that range that would make owning a bass boat possible for first timers.
Thanks for the great content, keep it coming!
I purchased an 02 chanpion 188 sc with a 200 Yamaha couple months ago for 14.5K. It was cherry. Yes I am happy. Tandem trailer. Put 2.5K in electronics and I am good to go.
Also the end of the video sums up every great marine tech I've ever known. Salty as hell and always pissed off about something lol. That's how you know that you know your stuff haha.
Hahaha yep!
Can't complain about my Nitro!!
I brought my Bass Cat a 19.6 Pantera 2 classic with two 9in graphs, 200hp mercury, 80lbs minn Kota fortrex, night lights, tandem trailer with back up lights, and other upgrades for 45.
Was that an SP package?
In my opinion, the 2020 Nitro Z20 PRO is the best bang for the buck. It's a completed tournament ready 20 foot boat with 250 ProXS, 2 10' talons, tandem axle trailer, 9"+10" graphs, and 112# Ultrex for $53k!!
You are correct Rich, it's hard to beat that price for what you get in accessories!
this was pre Covid correct? lol
Great stuff thanks. Curious why the P2 and not the Classic? It’s supposed to be a hell of a rig at a great price point.
Their website didn't give any pricing so we were able to find an array of more consistent pricing across the p2's then any other model
Just joined your site awesome what is your honest opinion of sea deck for a bass boat instead of carpet on a 21 foot gambler 1998
I have my 2020 nitro z19 pro. 2 10ft talons, ultrex 80, manual jackplate, 2 helix 8's. $52500 out the door. And yes, it came with a tandem axle trailer
Bingo! Great deal Bradley!
Agree with the nitro, i was originally trying to costume built the nitro z19 3years ago but was told i can't have the SHO motor, took a different route to costume the 2018 rangerz518c with 200 sho..
End up paying 59500 out the door
Great video
Thanks Ryan!
2018 Z19 paid $34,900. Then out of pocket Added 2-12” Hds Lowrance units, 1-10” Garmin Livescope, 2-8’ Power Pole Blades.
Also had boat wrapped. I’m in still under 45k.
Been a great rig 2 seasons in and absolutely zero issues. Also paid off!!!!
A paid off boat is the best kinda boat, no matter what brand it is! You're doing it right Mark! That's a good price too!
If u where to buy a 19' w/200 for your go to boat what 2 or 3 would u suggest!!!
Well from this list we'd chose the Basscat, but for the 40K price tag we'd repower a 20 year old Champion with a 250 SS and new electronics!
I love my z19 pro. Great boat
first time viewer , you were biting your tongue alot . so exact dollars not being a issue. what boat would you suggest a newby look at just by what you get for that dollar ? ive been looking hard at xpress boats. not sure what direction to zero in on .
Just poking some fun i like them all just the fishing community dosent matter how fast what they look like just like them you guys are asume love the show keep up the good work
Yep, if we had 40K it would go to re powering a 20 year old Champion with a Suzuki 250 SS and new electronics.
2020 ranger z520L merc pro xs 250 completely loaded for about 78000. Granted that was on clearance but hey! Saving money never hurts lol
We agree! 👍🏻
What is a good recreational aluminum boat
How are the 1999 Sprint 207 tournaments any good
I’m Japanese living in Philippines and attempting to import bass boats from US personally.
This is quite helpful information. Thank you for sharing this!
You're welcome buddy! 👍🏻
Check with Charger boats. They have been heavily involved with shipping boats "across the pond" to Japan and I'm sure elsewhere in the world.
@@galada52 Thank you for your kind advise.
I’ll definitely check with Charger.
Yep, do what Joe said! 👍🏻
Now that I think of it you can probably reach out to Charger Japan and they can do the leg work of getting the boat to Japan and then off to you. They may already have one there. Chargerboatsjapan.com
You said Skeeter Strada, I just finished a cap-off restore on a 1987 Skeeter Strada F120. 1987 115HP Mariner (tower of power). Extended the front deck, it now has as much storage as most 20' boats. Added a jackplate, and a minnkota maxxumpro 101#.
Wow that's awesome!
@@TeamMarineService Thank you! One of your champ videos inspired me. I cut out the splashwell, put a solid piece of wood in, similar to what you did.
What are your thoughts about the 1975 StarCraft Bill Dance Pro 18 OB ? Would you please review the 1975 StarCraft Bill Dance Pro 18 OB? Thank you
I like nitros layout alot more than most of the listed boats. They are also a very smooth and fast riding boat. You honestly can't beat them for the price.
They are a bargain value, there is no denying that and if you like the layout then that is awesome too! 👍🏻 Do you have one?
@@TeamMarineService I have a tracker 195. I have friends that have a z19 and z21. Both love them. They fish really good. My next boat.
Nitros still have wood in them … for a little more you can go with the trx18 triton all glass with a 200 merc on it
@@anthonyiadarola1201where do they use wood?
Thanks for listening, how about the top 5 the other way. If money didn’t matter, top 5 Uber set ups.
We have that one in the works! 👍🏻
I'm in the market looking for a new boat for 2021 season. This video was great start for me thanks. What are your thoughts on the Vexus Boats ?
Vexus makes quality boats! We haven't seen many up close but the ones we've seen have been quality.
If I could get a new bass boat that was aluminum, it definitely would be the Vexus 1980 or 2020. Their fiberglass are way to expensive! $80000plus.
Bought a garage kept 1994 ranger 354v this year and started fishing tournaments. For what i spend in gas for that johnson 150 i could afford a new 20 foot boat lol for my first bass boat though im happier than a tornado in a trailer park!
Haha that's great Adam! We all gotta start somewhere and we are glad that you're happy in it! 👍🏻
I .. have not even bought my first boat yet..br0.. but i sometimes watch U .. on uTube .. to kinda possibly help me 2 zone in on what Boat i may get..
yeah I have a 2020 Nitro Z19 with Ghost and two Lowrance Elite 9 Ti and minn kota raptors, and hydraulic jackplate for under 50k.
Well, if yall wouldve looked at the Nitro website, the Pro (Currently in 2022) comes with 2 HDS Live 9s and a Lowrance Ghost 24v for $50,395 before tax. Hell of a value, and well worth the extra $
Not in the market for a new boat, or would even look for a 19’. I just come for the animated commentary, good stuff! I could see some twitching as you put triton and nitro at the top
The skeeter zx200 comes Standard with a ultrex and one sportsman pole on the site.
That Skeeter is a great value!
I just got a 2021 z19 pro 80lbs ultrex, 2 helix8’s everything is linked, 200 mercury pro xs, 10” plate manual,tandem axle trail with breaks on both Axles it’s perfect for a carpenters salary I paid $46,000 I love it maybe one day I’ll trade up but it’s what you said entry level and all I need to rip lips thanks for the videos boys
What about an 86’ ebbtide dyna trak 179??? Worth looking into for 5k?
Would love to see a top 5 20' "budget" tourney ready bass boat
Whats your PERSONAL best choice for the money? And would I be better off buying one used a year or 2 oldz?
If we had to pick one from this video we'd pick the Pantera. If we were in the market to spend 40k we'd pick up a 20 year old Champion and re power it with a Suzuki and new electronics.
@@TeamMarineService You forgot to mention trailer. Champions tubular frame trailers are a rotting piece of chunk! Get ready to fork out some more $$$$ a trailer.
So I went on the site and built a NITRO with all the other stuff you'd need for tournament - went to 10" graph on the console, 9 on the bow, added power poles, live well system. No fancy colors, no port console, REALLY tried to keep it simple. $60,475 PLUS dealer and shipping fees. Then I looked at the Pantera Classic (Bass Cat) and built same boat - and it was about 57 (and you can haggle the shipping and dealer).... The Panterra Classic actually has a wider front deck (narrower overall, but bigger office) that the Panterra II, handles water better, faster, and you can get it with a Yammer Hammer at that price.... Gimme that Cat....
Cat over Nitro anyday of the week! 👍🏻
I have a friend with a 19’ Skeeter and he and I both much prefer fishing from my Nitro Z19. A lot more room to fish and the ride is much better. Not only that his upholstery is already coming apart at the seams. The seats in the Nitro are 100 times better made.
In my opinion if youre wanting a nice bass boat on a budget, dont rush, take your time looking on the used market for a 5-15 yr old boat that has been owned by an old man that took great care of the boat. i got into a 2007 Triton Tr21x with a 225 merc optimax that was in MINT CONDITION, look like it just rolled out of the factory it was so clean. the old man had just died and his wife was selling for a very very very good price, which allowed me to save a ton of money by not buying new. I then took that money I saved and spent on talons, ultrex, 360 and 4 helix units and still was well under the price of a base model 19 footer new. just be patient and look around marketplace, craigslist, BBC etc.
You are spot on buddy! We just did a video where we went on BBC and found some great used deals....They are out there ya just have to be actively looking.
I hit the z19 up with blades, a lowrance 12 up front and the ghost 34 for around 62k
You guys rock dude
Thanks buddy!
Excellent slam for nitro! Thank you Sir. Try trading it in next year. Make it the last boat you buy...just don't buy a nitro.
I purchased the 2018 Nitro pro z19 with tandem trailer. Came with helix 9 and 10 helix msi added (1) 10' power pole, 6" atlas jack plate and the Ulterra 112 came in at 52k. Worst purchase ever so far in my 53 years. Had issues with the fiberglass and gel coat. Some of the lids on the deck were impossible to open. The trailer started rusting up by the tongue and White River would not cover it under the Galva shield warranty saying that portion was not under warranty. I say go with number #5 and stay away from the #1 in my experience. Now I'm sporting the Phoenix 721 pro xp what a sweet boat no issues at all.
Xpress X19 with a 200 4 stroke right around $35,000
Stay tuned for our top 5 budget tin boat video!
My idea of a budget bass boat is the 18ft aluminum with a 90hp to 115hp because you can find them for around 30k to 35k
Same thing with aluminum bass boats? With the 250s
Good Idea!
👍
During a pandemic, a tiller model sea ark is more in line with my thinking (15k-18k)
I believe you may have meant the Phoenix 819 which comes standard with the 200 that would put it in the 50 K range or less.
Sadly, I didn't have $45k for a boat. I didn't have $35k for a boat. Or even $20k for a boat. So what did I do?
I paid $12,495 for a brand spankin new 16.5' Basstracker Classic XL With a trailer, a 50h Merc, a Lowrance Hook2-4x, a MinnKota bow mount trolling motor, and a live well. Yeah, it's no tournament boat but at least I'm on the rivers and lakes and I'm fishing.
That's what it's all about Doug! You're doing it right my friend, ain't no need to go into the poorhouse over a boat! Kudos to you!
AT 8:05 YOU SURE HAVE THOSE MERCURY SOUND EFFECTS DOWN. I CANT HELP BUT LMAO!!!!!!
Hahaha We all have hidden talents
2018 crestliner vct with mercury 115pro xs 4 blade x7 prop. Motor guide trolling motor for 28000 will run mid 50s
The down side to the Nitro is resale value. The guys I know that bought them aren’t really happy with the fit and finish.
2020 ranger z518 with the 200 mercury for 43k is really number one it’s almost 19 foot at 18 feet 10 inches.
If only it was a couple inches longer...(that's what she said) 🤣
Can you do an older swift bass boat review
