  1. Tom....just bite the bullet and get a Depth Raider...

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    i have the sub troll 900 and i like the way it works...but i think the quality sucks...they unit just seems very delicate....and to top it all off moore electroics charged me 90 bucks to fix a 2 cent spring!!!

    what i didn't like about my old fish hawk is that the digital read out would jump around too much....does the Depth Raider jump around like the fish hawk?

    thanks tony....

  2. Looks like a great big lake boat 8)8) Rocket launchers, rod holders and riggers and she'll be all set.

    I'd be real leary about the salt though, especially if it's been slipped in salt or brackish water.

    DAN

    i just called to NJ dealers..

    the base price for the trophy 2359 is 48,000.

    and the base price for the baha 251 GLE is 46,000.

    If i go new it will definitly be the baha....

    the trophy guy has a 2005 leftover that list for 60,000. he said he would sell for about 45000.00

  3. Well i used to knock Trophys untill i got one.I have the 22' hartop with the real hardtop and glass windows,and have to say that it's been a great boat for me.

    It's powered by a 230hp 305 Gm I.O. which gets me up to a cruise speed of around 30mph at 3000 rpm.Top speed is around 40mph,but i NEVER run it there.

    I troll with a 9.9 Yamaha four stroke and it pushes the boat fine in all but the nastiest days.if it's blowing hard,i'll throw out the bags and troll with the outdrive.

    I've been out in some snotty water,and this boat handles it amazingly well,it does everything i ask it to,it's a little cramped in the fishing area,and the hardtop can be a head banger,but overall i'm very happy with it.

    That 2359 Trophy is a very nice rig,don't be afraid to give it a serious look.Just make sure you get it with a big enough engine,lots of guys with the older ones have a hard time getting up on plane with the small engines.After having my Trophy for several years,i would have no problem buying another especially the 2359.

    Having said all the above ,i'm going to be selling mine this fall,as i'm in the process of restoring a 24' SeaCraft,that i'll be using on lake Ontario next year.I also have a 18' starcraft alum that i'm going to sell.Three boats is too many for me to keep afloat. :)

    Looks like i'll have to change my signoff line.

    i remember hearing stories that the hulls would crack when lifted out of the water...but i guess those days are over and they make a pretty good boat...I have to check one out..i really need to see how they sit in the water...that is very important to me......

  4. I have a 2359 bought it new in 1993, has been a great boat,

    no real issues with the boat. has a drop curtin vice the enclosure,sleeps

    4 (friends) 3 not so friendly. donT really like the new models for
