How about Pro-Line boats?

[farginicehole]

Thanks to those that replied to my question about Sunbirds. Now what are your opinions and/or experiences with Pro-Line? There's a nice-looking 24' walkaround with a 5.7 Mercruiser I found for sale. Unlike Sunbird, I've seen a lot of Pro-Lines around. Thanks!

They seem to hold their resale value fairly well, so that must mean something, right?

Re: How about Pro-Line boats?

My friend has a 30' W\A it sits in the water all the time and is always in the sun, we take it Grouper fishing way out in the gulf, has twin 200 yammys. He seems to be happy with it and its never failed us before, seems to be holding up to the elements well also. Only thing I dont like about it, seems to be a rough ride, I feel that for a 30' boat, it should handle chop better than it does, other than that, seems like a well built boat, but my opinion, there way too expensive new, but so is everything.

Re: How about Pro-Line boats?

I had a 98 Proline 2610 WA - was a dealer demo boat - never had a problem with it - held it's value, (I took extremely good care of it) and got 60% of original cost back on trade-in after 5 seasons of use... Moved up to a 30' Proline Sport (Center Console)... Big bucks, - wide beam-10' 10" giving a solid ride and plenty of room to fish from - I can fish with 8 guys - no problem... I had many first year problems, but majority were do to Manufacturer parts problems - and Proline made good on everything... Running with twin Merc 225 4 strokes (really Yamaha's) - and 4 stroke is a pleasure to own... all you hear is wind and water... Good luck with boat search...

Re: How about Pro-Line boats?

Thanks for all of your replies. Now my problem is that I think the boat is going to be too tall when on the trailer to fit into my pole barn! I just built it and it has 10' ceilings, with two 10' wide x 9' high overhead doors. Not that this should break the deal, but my wife and I are torn between getting a "big" boat that we have to slip and something that is trailerable. If we go the trailerable route, I'd sure like to be able to store it indoors at our house!
