Got me a new toy. Needs a little work, but the price was right.
Any bass fisherman on this site? |

| Sweet! Congrats on your purchase. I just caught a bass this Saturday down at Zapata (Falcon Lake). It weight 8 lb 8 oz. The fight was great. I reeled it in from about 30 feet from me with its head shaking side to side; I thought it was going to spit out the large tilapia crankbait I was using. I hit falcon as much as I can, usually every other weekend. Good fishing! |

Gamblers are/were built to be fast bass rigs with Kevlar behind the hull glass and in the transom for strength. I have no idea if the kevlar did anything for the boat strength.
They were originaly built in Poteau Oklahoma by a group lead by Bill Norman. Bill passed away and they were bought out by a group that moved them to FL (???) maybe..... That was in the early 90's havent heard or read anything about them in a long time. I am not sure they are still in business.

We're going to convert it for saltwater fishing. Re-wire everthing and put an aluminum trailer under it. It should ride comfortable to the cut and back. And get there in a hurry. Should be good for trolling the drop off. It'll work great for my trips to Amistad & Falcon. I think we'll name it the STX Bass-Turd.  |

Tyler, I'll let you know when the summer pattern starts at falcon and you'll have to run down there with us. |

Like that you can pretty much walk around the entire boat without having to step up and down. Sweet.
