Bass buster out of business?

[becker_atc]

The two man bass boats thet were made in Oklahoma (perry I belive) are they still being built. Splash marine had them I think (mother has one)

Looking online and don't see anything about them or any new ones forsale any place.

Anyone know?

I had a little 2 person boat years ago. If I remember one floated pretty low in the water(mine), and another brand floated high.

I sold mine after getting swamped a couple of times with bigger boats coming by and not watching their wakes, or just not giving a crap.

Yeah I know how that goes. My mother's is used on a private lake and ponds. A friend asked so I was trying to get some info for him. Weak google fu with him lol

They pop up on Craigslist with some frequency but I haven't seen a new one in some time.

Oxymoron, lol, but I understand what you said. Just being a non serious grammer Nazi.

They were originally Buster Boats and at one time Water Buster. At that time there were lesser quality low riders called water scamps.

I had a buster for a long time.

Mines not a "buster". Just a big ol hunk of molded Styrofoam with rhinoliner sprayed on it. Sits high and has a 600+ lb rating. It cannot be swamped or sunk.

I use it twice a year for pond hopping tournaments.

My wife bought be an 8 ft 2 man Pelican "Bass Buggy" from Academy 7 or 8 years ago. That thing has been a tank, sits up nice in the water, I have a trolling motor on it and use it at my farm ponds, I have no complaints about it.
