Sylvan: The 1800 Eliminator is double riveted for greater stress-flex and durability. Five keels provide longitudinal strength, protection from submerged objects, and also work with the gull-wing hull to provide better handling. Two built-in tackle trays, a large front casting platform, 30-gallon Roto-cast livewell, storage, and a trolling motor panel that opens up for more storage are part of the package. The rear casting platform sports a 23-gallon Roto-cast livewell, plus storage.
Tracker: The 20', 96" beam Nitro Savage 911 CDC Center Dual Console is touted as the world’s ultimate bass-fishing machine. The driver sits in the middle behind a centered, state-of-the-art dual console. The result is total, center-of-gravity control even on the sharpest turns. Passengers will appreciate the four-across, roomy seating. Fuel capacity is 41 gallons and the boat’s rated for 225hp. Features include a culling livewell, anti-backwash splash well, telephone storage compartment, insulated cooler, and two lockable rod storage boxes.
Triton: With the Premier Series you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a fully-rigged boat with space-age construction, hot performance, and all the latest features. At 17'11" with an 831⁄2" beam, the Premier Series is perfectly sized for fishing and family fun. They’re rated for 150hp, but with their high-tech hull design, they perform well with engines as small as 90hp. Three models are available: The 180SC, single-console tournament bass boat; 180DC, dual-console tournament edition; and the 180FS, fish and ski. The series comes with a Lowrance X-45 graph and a MotorGuide or OMC trolling motor.
Viper: The versatile Coral Fish & Ski offers boaters the best of both worlds. For the serious angler, it offers a big deck for fishing. For sun worshippers, choose from two plush seating styles—bench or deluxe. Standard equipment like a detachable trolling motor, loads of storage space, and tilt hydraulic steering add comfort and convenience. An optional bimini top is available. Length is 20'1", beam 90", rated for 250hp, and has a 37-gallon fuel tank.
War Eagle Boats: The company builds all-welded aluminum-hull boats featuring a transom with a concave shape similar to the wings of an eagle. This geometric transom design improves performance and deflects backwash to the sides. War Eagle has entered the high-performance competition boat industry with the introduction of their 20' Blackfeather model. This step-pad hull runs on a minimal surface due to the extended transom. This smooth performer also features hydraulic steering.
Xpress: The X51 is the result of building successful boats for over a decade, with new modifications and improvements added for 1999. The exclusive Hyperlift Pad Hull is one of the main features, providing the superior performance of a pad-type hull in an aluminum boat. This 17' boat with a 75" beam has a 27-gallon molded, divided, aerated livewell, and a fiberglass console. It features all-aluminum floors and decks, lockable rod box, built-in spinnerbait box, 18-gallon fuel tank, tinted windshield, 12/24 volt trolling receptacle, and is rated for 90hp. A 736 MotorGuide trolling motor and an X24 Lowrance depthfinder are included.
