AWESOME.
Black, gold and red. It's true once you're in a |
|
| |
Gambler,
"Life will never be the same!". I can't tell you
how |
|
| |
many
stares, comments, and questions I've had. Something |
|
| |
about
a Gambler that draws attention. Even on the trailer. I |
|
| |
feel
like a Ferrari in a world of Oldsmobiles. Gambler |
|
| |
owners
know what I'm talking about. You want to REALLY |
|
| |
know
the feeling, buy a Gambler. Its more than just speed, |
|
| |
it's
looks, fishability, ride, etc. The most complete |
|
| |

on the market. Love it." |

"We bought this used in
2001 and haven't run it near enough, |
PHOTO |
| |
each time I take it out I
learn something new and find another |
PHOTO |
| |
thing to appreciate about
it. Big deep storage lockers and |
|
| |
the rod savers on each side
of the casting deck are very |
|
| |
handy. We fished four
out of it and it seemed like there was |
|
| |
plenty of room. I'm
amazed by how stable it is while fishing. |
|
| |
We've had it in some rough
water and found we need to |
|
| |
learn a bit more about how
to handle it. The real scramble |
|
| |
was building a boathouse for
it before winter set in; took |
|
| |
away from my fishing time
and budget! We are looking |
|
| |
forward to having this boat
in the family for quite a while. |
|
| |
Now I know why they say:
"Once a Gambler owners, |
|
| |
always a Gambler
owner." My son reminds me that we still |
|
| |
need to see what WOT is with
this unit-something to work |
|

on this year for sure. We
took these photos and hope to |

send in more, clearer
