Question:
Any idea abt Gambler Bass Boat
Answer:
- I have a buddy who runs a fiberglass repair shop and specializes in bass
boats. Bhe insists that the hull construction of the Gamblers is second to
none -- to the point that that's the brand he bought for himself.
OTOH, they are rather well known for being great at only two speeds --
electric power and WOT. Anything in between, they want to point the nose at
the sky or porpoise.
- This was a problem in the past, but not with the newer boats that have the
T.A.C. System that utilizes electronically controlled stainless steel trim
tabs that keep the boat on plane at very low speeds.
The Gambler is an absolutely killer boat and spent a year fishing out of a
201 (which is now the 2100) for inland lakes, but not for waters like St.
Clair, Lake Erie, etc.
- that's just what I needed to read. I'm
looking at a '01 2000. This all depends on if a friend buys my Stratos
(according to another mutual friend, it's already in his driveway lol.) The
boat has a 2004 Evinrude on it that's not yet seen the water, and is
garage-kept & gorgeous. I'm curious about why Craig says it's not good on
big-waters, maybe he didn't know about the TAC system in the modern
versions?
I've ran 80mph in a Gambler last fall on Champlain, felt like a rocketship
to me. I'm comfortable up to about 70, but sure I could get used to the
extra mph...
