The newer models are built heavy, similar to the Rangers and thus can take a pounding with out the driver feeling it as bad


False, they arent called kidney crushers for nothing. Great fishing platform and I like them, but dont buy one for the ride. They hop/bounce around turns and arent near as good of a ride as phoenix, basscat, champion, etc... but will fish with the best of them as far as fishing platforms go.

ETA: the new FX series is suppose to fix some of the things lacking in the ride of the other models, but I havent rode in them so I dont know. I do know you better bring 50k if you want a new FX.

Go compare the weight of the models. Skeeter boats (the top three bass boat series) are all heavier or equally as heavy as Ranger, Phoenix, Basscat, Champion. Sometimes the difference is as large as 400 lb.

Don't go off of what others have told you go sit in one an do a little research.
