Bass Boss

[jimi]

Hi Guys, this is probably more one for the east coasters, but has anyone seen or been in one of those Stessl Bass bosses. Now they look the goods for a bream boat.

They are the closest thing I've seen to the american bass boats, except they are made of ally. They appear to be just a huge casting deck with a motor (the way a bream boat should be).

They are a v-hull design and are supposed to handle chop pretty well. The ads even say that they will double as a ski boat, so they must be fast . There's a review here http://www.fishingmonthly.com.au/boa...-Template.html

I've never been a fan of hornets, so one of these may just be the ticket when it comes time to upgrade. I reckon the 4.6m with a side console would be just perfect.

My dad has owned several stessls over the years and they have always been well made. Alf Stessl is a bit of an innovator in the boating world, he just doesn't get as much press as Quintrex.

I fished out of a B/Boss last year up at Forster and they certainly are a nice boat. The boat was a 5.2 model and although it wasn't going to get between the racks it was a very nice stable fishing platform. The guy who owned it specifically got it so it could be used for a bit of sking as well (Keep the girlfriend happy). They are very nice but I still think I would go the 5 metre hornet instead, ( I can't ski)
