In Order of preference:

1) Ranger 522VX Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
2) Basscat Eyra Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
3) Skeeter FX21 Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
4) Legend Alpha 211 Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
5) Phoenix 921 Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
6) Nitro Z9 Single Console with a Yammie SHO as big as they grow.
And some others.

If money really doesn't matter, I'd take one of each.

Why these models you ask? Cause they don't make a Ranger 532, A Basscat Eyra + 1', A Skeeter FX22, A Legend Alpha 222, A Phoenix 1021 nor a Nitro Z10. That's why.

For now anyway, I have THE BOAT for my style of crappie fishing (longlining and spider rigging). I had a carolina skiff and sold it after finding and rigging out a 17' Ranger Fisherman multispecies boat.

you now, torch, joe showed me where charger is gone back to making the exact same hull as our 2000 year model charger......i guess by popular demand. here is the link for the new 2011/12 195 foxfire, with the picture.

Those Chargers look like the old Champions. Must be made by an X Champion employee.

I am looking at a new 522 with an SHO yamaha. Lot of money to turn loose of but you only live once.

If I had your money, I'd buy one of each brand, and fish out of a different one everyday. LOL

No, not at all. I just prefer the open floor space when pulling cranks down the sides plus the extra air movement on very hot days. I like me a breeze.Thumbs Up

Nitro Z9 CDC. Its a 2011 model, it looks like it got discontinued for 2012. Huge front deck, wide and does not get narrow as you move forward like some do. Room to add bases for spider rigging without blocking any of the storage compartments. Bow livewell.

Since money is no object I'd ditch the Merc and hang a 250 horse Yamaha 4-stroke off the back with a fancy schmancy hydrolic jack plate.. I'd keep the built in HDS-7 in the dash for GPS and add a ram mounted HDS-10 and with the structure scan unit. Upgrade to a 101 pound Terrova with universal sonar and iPilot. I'd have railing added to the gunnel running the length of the cockpit on each side to add rod holders for pulling cranks with staggered length poles. I'd also add the Driftmaster Rod Locker system for transporting trolling rods. And since money is no object I'd also add the optional power pole just because.

That sounds like THE boat, cept I'd add EZ's pole holders and carriers.

It doesnt matter what you catch as long as you look good doing it.

To heck with looks! My tin boat is ugly and has helped me catch tens of thousands of fish but it is time to do it in comfort that only a glass boat will provide.
