I havent seen any bass boats here yet, so i'll start.
It's a 99 Nitro 896dc with a Merc 200. 71.7gps is the best i've had it so far. Completely stock.

Very nice!!! Does it like to walk around on you alot going that fast?
This is the first boat i've ever owned so i really had to learn how to drive it. It used to start walking about 62, not i almost have to work to get it to walk. I love the boat
 
A jack plate will help calm he girl down a bit, we use to chine walk pretty bad at 70 then the jack plate went on and it cruises right up on its pad at 50 mph or so then it runs like striped assed ape to 70, I love to pic on jet skis. Nothin like sendin back a 50 foot rooster tail and sprayin the hell out of them.
 
lmao
Mines got an 8" Rite Hite manual plate. I have no idea what the prop to pad measurment is, never bother to check. I know i get alot of look when i'm flyin down the river at 70mph in an old stock Nitro!
Let me know when your ready for some custom decals for your motor. I know i couldnt get those cheesy lookin Nitro/Merc decals off fast enough

Well we have been thinkin about tradein her in on a new 929 Nitro with a 250XP but we have been so busy with me in Iraq and my dad dealin with the contractors bulding my shop the voat has only seen water a couple times this year. But I should be able to change that next year.
 
Sell it outright, you'll get more for it. If your gonna spend that kinda cabbage on a new 929, why not get a Z9? Just curious. Theres some smokin deals on em right now. Check out the "boats for sale" section at www.bassboatcentral.com , theres an 08 Z-9 with a 250 on it for 35grand.
I'm already sgopping for my next boat.....more than likely it will be a Ranger or a Basscat
 
We are anti Ranger they are just not alot of boat for the mony and don't ride near as good a the Nitro or Skeeters. We don't care for the hull design on the Z9 they wanted to make it fast not good handleing so it rides well it rides like a ranger. 929 is a proven design that has tested out good in all reviews.
 
I run a 98 Triton TR21 with a 04 225 Evinrude. My 98 225 blew up in our first tournament in Jan 2005. 2005 was my last year of fishing a tournament circuit. Now it's just fun fishing.
