Question:
Anyone have any experience with Bbc Gambler Bass Boats?
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
-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.
-I went to a site last night called Bass Boat Central
(sorry, no link here). Find the site & read the Gambler reviews, and it
seems that the TAC system solved the bump-bump problem too.
I went & looked at the boat last night, and speaking with the current owner
(he's a BASS tourning pro too & a good friend,he's getting a brand-new 2100
in March) he said he rides right over 3 footers. If you adjust the TAC he
says at the crest of the wave rather than going airborn the boat will grip
the wave so that you don't. The BBC Gambler owners seem to agree on that.
The poll seems to be that one needs to learn to drive the Gambler but once
he gets used to it its great in 3-4 foot waves.
As for the boat I was amazed at the condition for a 2001 model. Nearly
scratch-free, brand new 2004 Evinrude 225 & tons of bells & whistles. And
of course it matches my truck perfectly. Yea, it's got a f-in MG on the
bow, but it's only an 87# (comes with a spare one too). I'd put the 107#MK
on immediately of course. The console GPS is a big Lowrance that would have
to go too, I'll never part with my Garmin. The trailer is 2 axle stainless
steel which I love. Three years left on the Gambler warranty, lifetime on
the hull & 3 years on the new Bombardier. The boat is an intimidator 2000
