bumble bee boats

[jdw2920]

Trying to decide whether to trade for new boat or put a 225 opti max on my 86 pro craft. Looking to see how good bumble bee boats are and also astro boats. How they compare to pro craft. Any input is appreciated.
thanks.

My uncle had a Bubble Bee for years it was a good boat he really liked it.

I'd take a look at a Basscat or Phoenix first. I wouldn't repower a boat that old.

I owned a bumblebee for a few years i loved it.

I was thinking the same thing bout not putting 7500 into a motor when I could just trade and get a decade newer boat

I had a 20 ft bee it was a good ride had a strados it was a good one to .bee was roomier and just a better smooth ride.now a have a bass trasker pro team 175 60hp easier on gas but not as roomy.think i will sale it and buy a phonix. emoGeezer

If im not mistaken Phoneix bought bumble bee boats. Phoneix boats are also built in Tullahoma.

I have a 1998 v16 Bumble Bee with a 115 johnson and it is a good little boat. At 16 1/2 ft it seems to have more room than my old javelin which was a foot longer. The bumble bee is a little wider on both front and rear decks. It rides quite well for a lighter boat. All in all I like the boat.

Friend of mine has a Bumble Bee. Great fishing boat and front deck is big enough to throw a party on.

I have a 85 Pro-Craft and love it but wouldn't think of re-powering it. I'd trade up for sure if I were you.

Bumble Bee made a great boat, I had a 2100 and loved it, miss it.

 

[Pointer 78]

I miss my Bee too. Great boats.

i just wish i could afford to not be able to tell the difference between 7500 and 50,000.......big difference between a new motor and a new boat

 

[jdw2920]

Newer boat than 86 not brand new that goes to prove the saying about assuming. Thanks for all relevant input

I had a 2100 Bee, a great boat, missing it and wish I could afford a new Phoneix.

I have a 2100 pro sport if you want to go for a ride let me know. I love the front deck it is huge.

I had a stratos .Now I have a 94 procraft v180b I love it . The stratos had a little nore front deck than the procraft .But the features on a procraft I love. Also Bumble bee makes a very nice boat .The newer ones are called Bee line's . Pheonix is awesome got a close up look at one of those at the drag races in Jasper a couple of years ago.The tackle storage system on them is unbelievable
