Thunderbird

A proper 19.5ft Thunderbird bass boat, set up exactly the way a serious bass fisherman wants it. It runs a 225 Mercury Optimax for real speed across the water, with two Lowrance fishfinders and a MotorGuide trolling motor already fitted. If you are serious about your bass fishing, this is a genuine tournament-style rig. R339,000. SPECS Make: Thunderbird Type: Bass boat Length: 19.5ft Condition: Used Engine: 225 Mercury Optimax Trolling motor: MotorGuide Electronics: 2 x Lowrance fishfinders Price: R339,000 This is a serious bass boat, built and rigged for people who take their fishing seriously. The classic bass boat layout gives you a low, flat casting deck and the stability to fish off it all day, and at 19.5 feet it has the size to handle a big dam while still being easy to tow and launch. This is the real thing, not a general boat with a rod holder added. The 225 Mercury Optimax is what sets a proper bass boat apart. Bass fishing is about covering water, getting to the next spot fast before someone else does, and 225 horsepower of direct-injection Optimax punch does exactly that. It is quick, responsive and economical for the power, so you spend your day fishing, not refuelling. It is fully rigged for the job. Two Lowrance fishfinders so you can run graphs at the console and the bow, and a MotorGuide trolling motor to work a bank quietly and hold position while you fish. That is a complete, ready-to-fish setup that would cost a lot to build up from scratch. At R339,000 for a proper bass rig like this, it is a lot of boat for the serious angler.
