Procraft 192 and 210 Super Pros
Available
in both single and dual console versions, the all-new 18' 6"
Procraft 192 Super Pro handles as good as it looks. With a wide
96-inch beam, the Super Pro is extremely stable. And with a
maximum horsepower rating of 200, it’s sure to be fast.
The 192 comes standard with dual anti-feedback steering, loads
of lockable storage, a divided livewell with auto-timed aeration
and recirculation, and a Lowrance 1440A sonar unit in the dash.
There’s a hefty 24-volt, 67-pound bow mount on the front,
complete with a recessed area for the foot pedal. The 192 Super
Pro has a big brother, too: the 210 Super Pro, a 20' 9"
version that can handle up to 250 horsepower outboards. Both
boats come with a factory-matched trailer equipped with a swing-away
tongue, retractable safety cables and EZ lube hubs. The package
even includes transom tie downs and a motor support. Learn more:

Ranger Reata
Ranger, a
name synonymous with quality fibreglass bass boats, makes a
big splash in 2004 with its new line of “fish and play”
boats, the Reata line. Available in three models from 18' 5"
to 21' 4", the Reata line is designed to appeal to those
looking for a family-oriented boat that’s just as much
at home pulling a water skier as it is fishing for bass. The
190 Reata measures in at 19 feet, with a 92-inch beam, and is
rated for a 200-horsepower outboard. It comes with all of the
fish-catching features that Ranger is famous for, such as a
24-volt trolling motor, a two-bank battery charger, a livewell,
front and rear casting decks, a Garmin 125 depthfinder and pedestal
seating. But the Reata also comes with a list of standard conveniences
to pamper the family during a weekend at the cottage: hydraulic
steering, an AM/FM stereo, an insulated cooler, custom-fitted
upholstery, a boarding ladder, a walk-through windshield, lockable
storage, integrated ski rope storage and driver/passenger footrests.
Ranger worked hard to bring together
both worlds of water sports in the Reata. Nifty features such
as removable rear seats that double as fishing chairs save space
and are extremely functional. There’s also full-sized
ski storage and a separate eight-foot rod locker with individual
rod tubes. The Reata comes completely pre-rigged with a variety
of outboard-motor options. And like all Rangers, it comes with
a matched trailer with brakes, spare tire, swing-away tongue
and aluminum wheels. Learn more: 1-800-373-2628; www.rangerboats.com
Skeeter
ZX300
Is bigger
really better? According to Skeeter Boats it is. Skeeter, the
original name in fibreglass fishing boats, introduces its new
ZX300 for 2004 to handle parent company Yamaha’s new 300
HPDI outboard. This 21' 10" bass boat has a beam of 94
1/2 inches and is reported to hit close to 90 miles per hour
with the 300-horsepower outboard strapped on the back. With
its huge 64-gallon fuel tank, and a dry weight of 1,850 pounds,
the ZX300 can carry anglers long distances in comfort.
The ZX300 sports Skeeter’s
new moulded, drop-in storage boxes, which allow you to easily
store and retrieve valuables. Other features include a 101-pound
thrust bow mount, three battery trays, tilt hydraulic steering,
a Lowrance LCF-1440 flasher, ample lockable storage for rods
and gear, oversized casting platforms, a livewell and a built-in
battery charger. Also included is a custom tandem axle trailer

Triton TR-X
Triton promises
a whole new dimension in bass fishing with its new TR-X series
bass boats for 2004—and many anglers feel it has hit the
mark. Triton, known for its wood-free composite boats, designed
the TR-X series with big water in mind. It features a wider,
more buoyant bow, a higher profile, wider seats and a deeper
cockpit than the popular TR line. Available in three models
from 19' 8" (the 19X) to 21', the TR-X series offers both
dual and single consoles. The 19X has a 94-inch beam and can
handle outboards up to 200 horsepower. It has a 44-gallon fuel
tank, a 44 1/2-gallon livewell and a 21-gallon baitwell. The
TR-X series is loaded with fishing features, including a 90-inch-long
front casting deck that has two pedestal locations and an ergonomic
recess for the trolling-motor foot pedal. Add to this numerous
standard accessories, such as a triple-bank battery charger,
two big rod lockers, built-in tackle storage, built-in measuring
board, a Lowrance X-51 fishfinder, hydraulic steering and a
custom-matched trailer. Also included is an industry first on
bass boats—an integrated safety boarding ladder should
you get tossed overboard. Learn more: 1-888-887-4866;
