2014年7月21日 · Pioneer BaySport 220 / Yamaha F250 I'll come right out and state that Pioneer knocked it totally out of the park with this hybrid hull. The higher gunnels, sharp entry, big flare, and moderate deadrise make for a perfect inshore/near shore package.

2021年3月19日 · Pioneer is a terrific choice - great boats! Islander is probably the best bet to accommodate both fishing and family activities... i also think that Scout is very similar to Pioneer. The Scout 215 XSF is very nice (I have one - so biased - I admit). Like the Islander it is a great blend for both family and fishing, which is what we needed.

2017年4月19日 · I know that Pioneer is pretty highly respected, and the 222 Sportfish, equipped with a Yamaha 300 makes a very fishable platform. The vast majority of the time, it’s just my wife and I. This boat should be fairly capable off shore, especially when running with a much bigger companion boat.

2014年7月10日 · Another reason they feel so rigid and dont "shudder" when you are pounding in a head sea is that pioneer uses twice as dense foam as many other manufacturers, they blast that stuff everywhere. Boat really feels like it rides high due to the flotation, as I can still get in around 16 inches of water, but I mainly use it near shore/offshore Jax ...

I recently bought a 197 Pioneer and it is a fine boat. The Cape looked good on the lot, and the dealer said he liked it in chop - but that is the dealer. Try it for yourself, too, that is the best way to make up your mind. In general, those seem to be pretty specialized boats for folks who want a bay boat with more bow and bow flare. EJ

2007年8月6日 · Pioneer markets the boat as a 197 because the centerline length is 19'7" if you don't count the little bump-out at the transom where the motor attaches (19'10" LOA). Also, I don't mean to be argumentative but how in the heck is a 19'7" Pioneer a "bigger boat" than a Bluewater 2150 with a centerline length of 21'5" plus the Armstrong bracket (23 ...

2007年2月22日 · I have the Pioneer 197 and could not be happier with it. The 197 is a traditional center console, without the extra storage lockers and rear casting platform. It also is 18 degree deadrise vs the 15 with this boat. However, the lines look very similar to my boat.

The Pioneer 220 is well established as having a great ride, and they just look awesome with the hardtop, to me. If you're buying an older one (pre-2020), the deck layout may seem a little antiquated by today's standards.

Pioneer 220 Bay Sport Keep in mind that I live in central AR, so I have not physically seen any of these boats and can only go on pics and reviews. With Pioneer mainly on the east coast, I don’t see many used or new. The Pioneer is more of a Hybrid and I think might have an issue with the bow area for casting due to its shape.

Pioneer is a pretty young company, they have put out just over 1200 unsinkable, lifetime warr. boats total so far. They have alot of stuff that is considered upgrades from other mfg's like pop-up cleats, all double clamped, all ss thruhulls, ss rubrails, etc. I think you'd have to look hard to find anyone that isnt happy with their pioneer.
