I’ve been a long time fan and finally pulled the trigger and joined. My first tournament with my father in law on the California Delta. Thanks for the inspiration I am 37 yers old and thought I was too old to to get into it. Fishing helps me with my ptsd from the Marine Corps and also blessed me to be part of such an amazing community. Thanks again Semper Fi
Hey SUF! If money were no object, I would make this purchase. UPDATE: I will pass on this boat; it is a fantastic deal! If you are interested, let me know, and I will put you in contact with the dealer.
Currently running: 2009 Stratos 294XL (19'6", 91" beam) with 2009 Evinrude ETEC 150HO flashed to 175HP on a single axle trailer. The boat's paid off and tournament-ready.
Considering: New leftover 2023 Falcon F215 (21'5", 99" beam) with Suzuki 250SS brand new
- Dealer asking $53K
- Monthly would be $580-680 (versus $0 on Stratos)
- Interest rates are around 7-10%
- Trade-in value on Stratos: $12-20K
Main pros: Wider deck, more power, bigger fuel tank (50 gal)
Main cons: A Higher payment than wanted, 7-10% interest rate
Would you pull the trigger or keep the paid-off Stratos? I'm especially interested in tournament performance difference, newer age, and whether the wider deck is worth the monthly payment. BTW, a Stratos re-power would be $23-24K. One major sway factor - I hate debt.
Thanks for any insights!
Alright when the high is -8 it’s time I need to start looking at moving down south for the winter.
What's good fishing freaks, I'm Ricky from lake Barkley Kentucky lake area in Kentucky, hopefully if we get a good rain I'll have some good catfish pictures to post from some good river fishing. Keep your lines wet rods bent and the reels turning ✌️🎣

Hey there from Florida. Just got home from an afternoon of fishing the Everglades. Glad to report the water temps are getting stable again. Peacocks aren’t quite as aggressive yet but the largemouth are definitely tugging back harder than the past few weeks. Wife happened to be watching BLat’s latest video. Sounds great that one of the goals is to sponsor a family. She mentioned how nice it was to see such a good community in this crazy world. I’m glad to be a small part of this one.
How's it going everyone? I'm Will Davis. New to the community and look foward to gaining knowledge on fishing and helping anyone I can with the knowledge I have.
Mental preparation is the least SEXY THING IN BASS FISHING. Yet when I talk to people I see it’s the missing link. How we do one thing is usually how we do everything.
