Ill be the first to say that is a sweet riding boat and would of made a killer bass/bay Combo as they will buil the deck layout exactley as you want. Upon arrival at Chris marine I was greeted by Chris the owner which is a great guy and he had Brian take me on a demo.

Sold the legend and headed to Chris marine to get a low side on order.įast forward to yesterday. I recently caught the salt bug again so I made the leap. Prior to my legend I had a majek 22' extreme and loved it just couldn't get to the salt much back then so I decided to go back to a bass boat and the legend was a great choice and did me well for a few years. I sold the legend to make this happen last week. I fish fresh water about 80% of the time and tired of no being able to do both with my legend. I had been talking to them for weeks prior to this trip about custom building a bay boat that's set up like a bass boat. I would be more than happy to disscuss my gearcase needs w/ the "Evinrude guys".As the title says I took off yesterday to visit the folks at Chris marine In aransas pass to demo a haynie 23' LS. Not bad for a 2000# hull w/ huge center console.Ĭompaired the the 75 mph w/ 250Pro XS/Sportmaster (1.62) combo.Īll the 250 HO needs is a Sportmaster 1.62 and adapter plate. That would put me in the 72-73 mph range. I am still seeing to much prop slip on that boat (21%). I am doing my best to get max performance. But on cat that likes a true surface piercing gearcase, the 250 HO/Lightning combo does not stand a chance against a 250XS/Sportmaster combo.


Like I said if you wanted call Bass Cat boats, ask Ivan what differences he noticed on a Cougar 20ft bass boat with a 250 pro and a 300xs, 2mph diff is it? and on the same hull the 250 Ho was right with it!!!!! But like I emailed you the evinrude guys are not sure of your tests with the Titus unit? Cause in almost all real deal comparos the 250 Ho will edge out the Pro xs, not always but usually, remember the 250 ho and 300 Etec are the same powerhead,Like I said extended warranty,300xs,sporty and go for it.Im sold on the other brand but that is from consumers,racers,techs,maintenance,high tech nature,and styling, dude the sound of a 250 ho surfacing is better than College Girl Sex!!!!!!:reddevil:
