Still fishing out of a 1984 Champion 184 with a 150 Mariner. love it! Top speed fully loaded 62mph, nowhere near how fast todays boats are going, but I have not found to many times I needed to go faster. When they pass me in the smooth water I pass them back in the rough water.
Absolutely love my 2005 ranger Comanche 185VX with a 175 mercury on it. Almost exactly like the 518 ranger that you described. It’s my first bass boat and I’m in love with it
I had about a 2004 185VX with a 150 VMAX new from a dealer going out of business for $21,000 otd. LOVED that boat and sold it for about what I'd paid for it a few years later.
Alas… there is ONE boat missing in your top 3!… The STRATOS 201, which was OMC’s exclusive test boat from the day it was released! I’m a HUGE fan of the old “we still build them one at a time” 19 & 20-21’ Rangers, but the Stratos is on a slightly higher plane, and likely my #1. Excellent content as always! 👍🏼 👌🏼
The 202 is an amazing ride as well! I passed so many people in huge waves they couldn’t handle it but that ole 202 plowed right through them going 55mph.
My uncle was a sales rep in the late 80's early 90's for a boat sales company on lake guntersville. He had a gambler when not many ppl had seen them yet. Super fast and cool. We had ppl always asking us about it while fishing. Scared the crap out of me as a kid going that fast on the lake even in the wind.
From the little 320 to the "big" 390, a great hull. Good top end, good in rough water, great hole-shot, fantastic cornering, but most of all, a great low profile fishing platform that doesn't easily get blown around by the wind. The Ranger 350 was THE BASS BOAT of the 80's. And in the late 80's, they pioneered the fiberglass transom. I still have my 1988 354V. I wouldn't mind repowering it, but I haven't found another boat that I like better. Unlike today's rigs, these were designed to run with a 150. The 350/354 is only 1050 pounds and it doesn't need a 36 volt troll motor to move it around. Since B.A.S.S. lifted the 150HP limit, it seems all manufactures abandoned the idea of building performance fishing machines for "small" 150HP motors. (And by "performance" I mean more than just top-end. How does it perform when trying to follow a weedline in a strong wind?)
I am in on the Jonnie ruining stuff 10 4 Never owned bass boat just deep Vees would love to find a Champion ever hear of 1 let me know and oh great vid
Had a 201 Champion years ago. Best Bass Boat I ever owned. No surprise with Andy's top pick. Champion were the safest, best rough water, handling boat ever made. Sorry that they are no longer available. Are the present Charger boats a similar design?
The problem with champions is the wood transom and wood stringers in the hull. Most at this point will have wood rot. Im pretty sure champion didnt go to a no wood boat until 02 or 03. Its a shame champion didnt go to a no wood boat like ranger did.
My best friend has that champion sitting uncovered in his yard. . I flip bass bats and been trying to get it for years. But it was his late brothers boat and he just can’t make his self get rid of her. Sad. I want it for my personal build. Still hoping I get it. I’d go on to promise to never get rid of her. These boats are the best of all worlds.
I have a Ranger 396v in very clean condition with 1987 Suzuki SS. Original owner. It was hit by a pickup truck backing into my driveway 10 years ago. Had a minor gash on the side. Was fixed like new. The Ranger company built a new trailer for it. Ranger built their decks and lids like no other boat. There are no cracks in the hull from the accident. The only other boat I considered was Champion but my Ranger is one of the best.
I don't own one, but I've ridden in and driven several, but top of my list is the Falcon F250 / F20 Predator. I thought Phoenix 919/920 was the best riding and handling boat, but man. Falcon has something. Those boats ride and handle like nothing I've ever driven. They're built extremely well as well. Very solid.
Had a 98 Champion 202 225 Mercury & a 04 Champion 198 225 Yamaha, loved them both for different reasons. 202 ride & turning. 198 fishing platform & storage. The 202 had much nicer glass work & trailer. No stress cracks on either one!
I have a 98 202 Champ and it rides way better than my older Skeeter I replaced it with. Still own both. Bank repo and it was a steal I couldn’t pass up because I’ve always wanted one. I figured Triton would be on this list.
I don’t run a bass boat but I run a Forrest Wood family Ranger 620 and I always heard great things about the first 520s guys said they were the best bass boat they built. Granted that 518 is a rocket but as far as taking on anything you want to throw at it the original 520 I’ve heard is king. Great vid as usual Andy !
Have you ever considered the charger bass boat? Charger and Champion collaborated together using Champion hulls. They produce the 198 and 210 Elite boats. I've heard they ride like a Champion. Marty's marine at the lake of the Ozarks sells them.
Same HP rating, that 2 stroke will outrun it. Unfortunately, probably one of the only benefits. Well, if you can repair them, two strokes of the past, 80's-90's-&early 00's carb motors are easy to rebuild. Never took apart one of those pro xs 2 strokes.
Andy, I know your favorite is the champion 203. So my question to you is have you rode in the Bass Cat Cougar FTD Hybrid which is the bass cat cougar with the champion 203 hull?
My first new boat was a 96 champion 221 , i still have it to this day. Its been repowered with a 250 sho , and obviously all electronics and trolling motor upgraded. But it is still as beautiful and smooth of a ride as youll ever find. Ive never been in a 203 but i dont know how it could beat the 221. Good video
My 1rst bass boat was a '99 Champion 202... not the wider 203 but that girl was a peach... diamond in the rough!!! Great video, can't wait for the WORST list
I’ve got a 1999 193 elite. Repowering now. Even it rides great in rough water for a 19 foot boat. I can see where the 203 would be really sweet though.
Sweet top 10 Andy! Glad Ranger made your #3 spot, but it wasn't mine damnit! (05 Ranger Z21 Comanche with a Yami 250HP Vmax HPDI.) That's ok, hoping it won't be on Top 10 worst? Lol. Sure my Ranger is a 21+ footer, but it has always been stored in my shop, looks brand new still and it's PAID OFF!!! Anyhow, keep up the good stuff brother! 👊👍
When I saw this video when it was released I found a 1999 203 and bought it. Love the ride! Unfortunately having issues with the Optimax and finding parts. I’d love to ask this team a couple questions for direction.
Thanks for doing the work you do on these. Rocking a 1996 461vs that I have had since 2000 and redid seats, carpet, trim. 10inch birds and talons (I know you prefer poles) with the original 2 stroke 150 EFI (lets others know I am there, lol).
Thanks for the kudos for the Ranger, I own the 1998 R-91 which I believe is the same 500 series hull as the 518 Just not the fancy comanchee boat and it is the Forrest Wood boat,original carpet,trailer.still a great boat today 22 years later..
My top Not in order Triton TR-20 earl bentz era Skeeter zx202 Legend alpha Bass cat eyra Champion 193 Ranger commanche 203 champ Of course the bayliner capri #1 seed
I have a 1996 ranger xt361 completely redone. Front deck extension. 2020 mercury pro xs 150. 10" jackplate. 3 g3n helixs, ultrex and mega 360... boat is amazing. Rides awesome and u stay dry... wish I could post pics...
Yet another tony the tiger vid. I was surprised falcon was not on there but glad legend alpha was like mine alot wish deck and storage was a bit better but performance is gr8. V20 has the better storage and deck but not the performance of the alpha. Cant wait for the next vid!!
It’s got a 6800 rpm Optimax 225 L swings a 30 pitch prop. 2:1 gears fat shaft on a 3 liter lower. I live where skeeter is made. FXR is nice, great ride, not really belongs on the list. Imho
Proud owner of 2000 Champion 203 love the boat. Mine is a dual console, kinda wish was single console for added room, but great for my son to hide behind.
Champion Boats were and still are the best! Wish I still had mine! Even my kids miss it. They felt safe no matter how fast you could go or how rough the water was.
@mbwfreedom The ZEXR has the same hull as the FXR but a different top cap I sell skeeters at my dad’s dealership so yeah they’re really good boat and I like my ZXR just the top cap is horrible
@mbwfreedom instead of one middle of tackle locker like the FXR it has a split one with a bar in the middle so you have to reach under the bar and your tackle trays are very hard to get out that way
I don’t think that logic applies to this video. I would argue this top 10 is more relevant to viewers than a top 10 of brand new 80k dollar boats. Idk about you but I got bills to pay. I think it’s awesome that folks can use this list when searching for their next used boat
I had a 1999 203 elite w 2004 Johnson fingerport 225. Great riding boat. Although you missed a really good boat which I have now:-) but I know you like Bullet 20 footers so I'm good
That champion was built in the javelin plant in Murfreesboro TN along side the javelin that u don't seem to like however the javelin was one of the best hulls out there and still is just under a different name
Are the 99 187 elite hulls any good? I found one in great condition and I am very to interested in it. Has a 175 Merc on it right now asking 10k. If the engine is good is it worth it?
I own from new a 1986 champion 186 and it runs to 68 mph on rough water my livewell pump died and a seat problem in 17 years .175 mariner That's why champion is number 1 30 plus years fishing bass tournaments thanks to champion company.les Miller 75 plus years old.
My 1990 482v is a great ride and I love it But my dream boat is a Gambler Intimidator . My buddy is restoring one right now I can take a nap in that boat at 80mph lol
I owned a 1992 Champion 190 DCR loved that boat. Do you think anyone can come close to making another boat like that? Would love to see someone buy the Patten and start building them again? Love your channel keep it up.
Whith me starting to look around at new and used boats, would you guys recommend choosing a Legend if i happened to run across one? Ive seen a few for sale here & their.

Haha what are you talking about? 60 is plenty
We all knew what #1 was gunna be before the video started lol
😆👍🏻 #Champion4thewin!
We all know it is lol
Is it Bullet? I haven’t watched yet but if it isn’t then the video is wrong and I’ll not hear anything contrary 😂
Well the video was wrong.. but hey everyone is allowed to have an incorrect opinion 😂
Nitro!
Absolutely love my 2005 ranger Comanche 185VX with a 175 mercury on it. Almost exactly like the 518 ranger that you described. It’s my first bass boat and I’m in love with it

Alas… there is ONE boat missing in your top 3!… The STRATOS 201, which was OMC’s exclusive test boat from the day it was released!
I’m a HUGE fan of the old “we still build them one at a time” 19 & 20-21’ Rangers, but the Stratos is on a slightly higher plane, and likely my #1.
Excellent content as always! 👍🏼 👌🏼
make a vid on top 5 champion hulls.
They would all be #1
Charger?
The 202 is an amazing ride as well! I passed so many people in huge waves they couldn’t handle it but that ole 202 plowed right through them going 55mph.
My uncle was a sales rep in the late 80's early 90's for a boat sales company on lake guntersville. He had a gambler when not many ppl had seen them yet. Super fast and cool. We had ppl always asking us about it while fishing. Scared the crap out of me as a kid going that fast on the lake even in the wind.
Never had a Champion but totally agree. Rode in one on Lake Michigan. So solid.
Great video! Love my 2000 203 DCX Elite. Just had the Mercury 225 EFI rebuilt. Drives and rides like a dream.
I agree with your #1. That champion was absolutely the best. Others I like on your list is Basscat pantera & the Ranger Z518.
RIP Legend. My favorite looking bass boat of all time
Great Rigs!
Will any relation to John?
Champion was the driest ride I was ever in. Great boat
Best boats ever made
Great stuff. Nice to see you have Bullet, Bass Cat and Legend on that list. I would put all Allison's and Champion 201 on the list
To me the 300 series Ranger is the 1957 Chevy of Bass Boats. My #1 of all time.
From the little 320 to the "big" 390, a great hull. Good top end, good in rough water, great hole-shot, fantastic cornering, but most of all, a great low profile fishing platform that doesn't easily get blown around by the wind. The Ranger 350 was THE BASS BOAT of the 80's. And in the late 80's, they pioneered the fiberglass transom. I still have my 1988 354V. I wouldn't mind repowering it, but I haven't found another boat that I like better.

Since B.A.S.S. lifted the 150HP limit, it seems all manufactures abandoned the idea of building performance fishing machines for "small" 150HP motors. (And by "performance" I mean more than just top-end. How does it perform when trying to follow a weedline in a strong wind?)

No problem buddy! 👍🏻

@Ezra Layton No problem xD
I am in on the Jonnie ruining stuff 10 4 Never owned bass boat just deep Vees would love to find a Champion ever hear of 1 let me know and oh great vid
Wish it weren't the case!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Stratos brand!
My 1987 Champion 184 fish and ski, super v hull. Got A mercury blackmax 200hp, super fast, well over 70mph. Love it.
Yeah buddy!
👍🏻👍🏻
Legend Alpha's were great boats
Legend boats had the best designer of bass boats. “ John Storie” Why are good old buddy Johnny Morris had to make it disappear
I had a 2000 Champion. Great, great boat. Rode like no other!
Had a 201 Champion years ago. Best Bass Boat I ever owned. No surprise with Andy's top pick. Champion were the safest, best rough water, handling boat ever made. Sorry that they are no longer available. Are the present Charger boats a similar design?
We couldn't agree more Terry! The 210 Elite Charger is the exact same hull as the Champ 210
Champion...hands down!
Year??
The problem with champions is the wood transom and wood stringers in the hull. Most at this point will have wood rot. Im pretty sure champion didnt go to a no wood boat until 02 or 03. Its a shame champion didnt go to a no wood boat like ranger did.

I want a dedicated video on mid range boat reviews like Javelin, Stratos, and HyrdaSport, etc....
Loved my two Champions, great boats not the fastest but I could go out in anything.!
I’m looking to pull the trigger on a FX20 Skeeter. So I’ve been doing my homework on what everyone’s opinions are on a quality vessel.
LETS GO just bought a 518vx Comanche. love to see it on the list
Comment below on what your favorite boat or boats are!
I've owed champion and gambler its hard
Stratos all day
Gator Trax!
1. Champion 2. Bass Cat 3. Progator
Javelin 409t
Oh no Nitro didn't make the list! Haha
Not a nitro they run like crap
The Nitros are the new Cajun boat replacements .
@@carsonisfishing5757 Nitros have mercury engine’s . They run just fine. You probably mad because you can’t afford one.
I had an 01 , Champion best bass boat I ever had
We have a 1989 Gambler GT-183. Love it. Huge front deck, so fast and solid!
Awesome!!!!
I don't own one, but I've ridden in and driven several, but top of my list is the Falcon F250 / F20 Predator. I thought Phoenix 919/920 was the best riding and handling boat, but man.

As someone who is looking to buy an 88 Hydra-sports vs150 I was surprised to not see it on the list 😅
Just found your channel. Outstanding commentary. I look forward to your future postings!
Hell yeah!! Your picks are spot on, especially the Champion!!
Yeah buddy!!!!
My 08’ 210 Elite is the god father of bass boats. The Stairway to Heaven prestige. Untouchable
Had a 98 Champion 202 225 Mercury & a 04 Champion 198 225 Yamaha, loved them both for different reasons. 202 ride & turning. 198 fishing platform & storage. The 202 had much nicer glass work & trailer. No stress cracks on either one!

My Favorite Bass Boat is a 21' Stroker. I also like the 2012 Bass Cat Puma-225hp Mercury ProXs. Fish-ability Fav: Ranger Z520.
2018 era 2 stroke pro Xs or 4 stroke sho?
SHO
Same HP rating, that 2 stroke will outrun it. Unfortunately, probably one of the only benefits. Well, if you can repair them, two strokes of the past, 80's-90's-&early 00's carb motors are easy to rebuild. Never took apart one of those pro xs 2 strokes.
whats your rating on a 1990 trac marine bass boat
Allison XB21 for my favorite. I also had a Champion and the fit and finish, not to mention the ride, on the Allison was so much better.
Interesting, what model Champ did ya have John?
1995 186. Maybe the Allison being bigger is the reason for the better ride.
John this guy needs to book a trip to Kentucky Lake and see fastbass marine. Bet 1 ride and that top 10 will change really quick lol.
I always felt my 01 cobra 🐍 dc rode and fished like 203🤷
My hull has surprised many in rough water.
The Cobra is a John Storie designed boat. He started Cobra after he decided to leave Champion after he sold it.
I still have my 98 Viper Cobra 201DC.
Best rough water boat I've ever owned. Love the Yellow Coast Guard Specs placard.
H.P. Rating : Unlimited
Why one of the boat company’s don’t copy the bottom 1/2 of the Champion , mine road so good ?
Great number one! Charger is supposed to be building one. I can't wait to see what they do to it.
They've already been building them
Andy, I know your favorite is the champion 203. So my question to you is have you rode in the Bass Cat Cougar FTD Hybrid which is the bass cat cougar with the champion 203 hull?
My first new boat was a 96 champion 221 , i still have it to this day. Its been repowered with a 250 sho , and obviously all electronics and trolling motor upgraded. But it is still as beautiful and smooth of a ride as youll ever find. Ive never been in a 203 but i dont know how it could beat the 221. Good video
That 22 is a massive boat. Lots of guys don't need that big of boat. Specially if they river fish. That 22 is for big lakes
Love my old gt183 gambler 1988 that’s my best ride
My 1rst bass boat was a '99 Champion 202... not the wider 203 but that girl was a peach... diamond in the rough!!!
Great video, can't wait for the WORST list
I’ve got a 1999 193 elite. Repowering now. Even it rides great in rough water for a 19 foot boat. I can see where the 203 would be really sweet though.
Any of the top names built pre Covid
Didn't fant at number three because it is a good bass boat was in one a couple of years ago in a tournament. Just awesome!
Yeah, my 96' 209 Gambler still looks like 100mph just sitting there. Hell yeah.
Sweet top 10 Andy! Glad Ranger made your #3 spot, but it wasn't mine damnit! (05 Ranger Z21 Comanche with a Yami 250HP Vmax HPDI.) That's ok, hoping it won't be on Top 10 worst? Lol. Sure my Ranger is a 21+ footer, but it has always been stored in my shop, looks brand new still and it's PAID OFF!!! Anyhow, keep up the good stuff brother! 👊👍
I dont understand why people dont like nitros, the new nitros are a completely different boat.
We don't like them because in our opinion they are built with cheap materials and their quality control just isn't up to par.
When I saw this video when it was released I found a 1999 203 and bought it. Love the ride! Unfortunately having issues with the Optimax and finding parts. I’d love to ask this team a couple questions for direction.

Fav boat Skeeter, Phoenix, and Bass cat I own a Skeeter ZXR
@mbwfreedom You're thinking about the new FXR....Totally different hull and top cap than any previous Skeeter model
@mbwfreedom The ZEXR has the same hull as the FXR but a different top cap I sell skeeters at my dad’s dealership so yeah they’re really good boat and I like my ZXR just the top cap is horrible
@mbwfreedom instead of one middle of tackle locker like the FXR it has a split one with a bar in the middle so you have to reach under the bar and your tackle trays are very hard to get out that way
My nephew had that champion in blue flake,250 Yamaha, it would set you back,my no.1 choice also.
Ranger and champion the two best bass boats in my opinion
I'd like to hear your top 10 that you can buy new today. Tbh the past is the past.
I don’t think that logic applies to this video. I would argue this top 10 is more relevant to viewers than a top 10 of brand new 80k dollar boats. Idk about you but I got bills to pay. I think it’s awesome that folks can use this list when searching for their next used boat
@@derrickwestfall2002 my boat is 22 years old so my thoughts is 15 year loan no big deal for a new one
Past is the past but that champio. Sill outdoes these new boats ... sad but true
Gambler baby!!!!
Hell yeah! Gamblers rock!!!!
@@mediaspeedfilms1334 We are so excited so see what the future looks like for them!
Lunch time video!

#3!!!!
The best bass boat of all time is the early to mid 90s Ranger 361. Hands down no contest.
Vote Andy for Bass boat President!
I had a 1999 203 elite w 2004 Johnson fingerport 225. Great riding boat. Although you missed a really good boat which I have now:-) but I know you like Bullet 20 footers so I'm good
That champion was built in the javelin plant in Murfreesboro TN along side the javelin that u don't seem to like however the javelin was one of the best hulls out there and still is just under a different name
Only after they left mountain home in 03. The mountain home champions are the battleships of champion. The 99 was built in mountain home.
That champion was a beast and rode smooth, without a doubt.
#truth!!! Best ever!!
@@TeamMarineService 100%
Are the 99 187 elite hulls any good? I found one in great condition and I am very to interested in it. Has a 175 Merc on it right now asking 10k. If the engine is good is it worth it?
What abkuta 184
I own from new a 1986 champion 186 and it runs to 68 mph on rough water my livewell pump died and a seat problem in 17 years .175 mariner
That's why champion is number 1 30 plus years fishing bass tournaments thanks to champion company.les Miller 75 plus years old.
You should do a 2022 best bass boat money is no object. Pure quality
Champion to me was THE BEST , road great in rough water
That 99 Champion 203 is nice! Had the pleasure to ride when Patterson owned one.
My 1990 482v is a great ride and I love it But my dream boat is a Gambler Intimidator . My buddy is restoring one right now I can take a nap in that boat at 80mph lol
Hey man that was fun! I can certainly live with that list. But I am worried you may get banned from youtube next week. LOL!
Haha Banned???
I owned a 1992 Champion 190 DCR loved that boat. Do you think anyone can come close to making another boat like that? Would love to see someone buy the Patten and start building them again? Love your channel keep it up.
