Thread: New boat

I just recently bought a new boat. I choose a 2170 War Eagle Blackhawk. I had things that I wanted on my boat, high front deck, big insulated live well, narrow back deck for pulling cranks that was easy to climb onto or even reach from the floor of the boat. War Eagle was the only company that would listen to what I wanted and was willing to try to arrange the boat that I wanted. I was able to go down and sit down with John Ward and Nick Cater and explain what I was looking for. I couldn't get everything that I wanted but they had some great options that got me close. No one else would even talk about changes. They were all cookie cutter approach boats take what they offered and that was it. I will be the first to admit that is isn't a speed demon. 54 mph with a Yamaha 150 SHO. The boat would handle a 200 plus hp engine with no problem but only tagged for 150hp. War Eagle boats are built like tanks, they are heavy boats, as far as ride and handling I will put my 2170 against any other tin boat. Do yourself a favor and google search whatever boat that you are looking at. Easy to find problems that others have had with whatever model that you are looking at.

Good Luck with your shopping!
