Anyone

[Rees Guide]

Fished out of a Sprint?? Looking at one and would like to know how they fish, Thanks.

Which model

[Rees Guide]

221 dc

[Wannabe...]

Big, wide, mid range quick, stable, very heavy. Can't recall the deck layout, but seems I recall something about it I didn't like. Going to take a 225 to push it and you will want a 36v set up.

[Rees Guide]

My 200 aint gonna push it??? Its a 2001 with a blown 150 Mec on it, boat alone weighs 1400 lbs.

[Wannabe...]

It will. Bunch were put in market with 150s. Rated for 225. You most likely will need a prop swap with the 200.

Just looking rite now, gonna need a prop swap anyway so thats not a prob.

I had a 186 back about 10 yrs ago. It was a good boat. A friend has one that he bought 12 or so yrs ago and it fishes just fine. He still has it. I wouldn't be scared of one if the price was right but I would look for a bass cat or ranger if it were me.

They made a fast hull I tell ya that but the ride and dryness of the ride was somewhat lacking. Not braggin but my small Ranger at 17 and half foot rides a whole lot smoother than alot of bigger other brand boats I have been in. Bass Catt is good in both categories also smooth and a dry ride. JMO but I were you John I would stay with what I had. You done got it rigged like ya want it dont go thru all that again. YOu catchn heck outta fesh with what ya got aint ya???? Again JMO take it or leave it.

Check for soft spots in the floor. They were bad about that. Also look the transom over real good as well. My uncle had one of the last ones they made and it had quite a few issues with the two things I mentioned. His was a 20' with a 225 Merc.
