Best Bass Boat Dealer in the area?

[Jacobmango]

What is everyone’s experience buying new boats? Is there a great dealer in the area that is helpful with customization? I noticed the brands that are available seem to be limited. Are people buying other brands like pheonix outside of Chattanooga?

Thanks!

What kind of boat are you looking for?

re-read your post, if you want custom then definitely Ballistic or Gambler. they dont build them til you order them and are built the way you want it pretty much

They're not even worthy of an honorable mention.

I bought a G3 Tin rig from them but had a really good experience with Moses.

Sandhill Marine in Dayton is now selling Bass Cat so it looks like all the major players are in this area now.

If you are looking for truly custom and you haven't taken a tour of the Bullet factory in Knoxville, you haven't seen anything. All hand laid balsa core and Kevlar re-enforcement and thats just regular construction. They will customize just the way you want. track record, local warranty, resale value... There is Allison as well. Probably the finest bass boat on the planet. Most cookie cutter production boats out there now are very competitive and offer all the latest equipment available. You can check out 'Ken Smith Fishing' on youtube. He has been doing an almost year-long study and rating of all the major brands out there. If you can't narrow down a new boat there, you probably never will. IMO. Many hours of video there. Good luck!
