Proline? Are they any good?

[jeffb]

I'm looking at a 2001 26 proline. Does anyone know anything about prolines?

You could buy one for me for Christmas and I will let you. Dam I might even take you out fishing once or twice....

 

[Lipripper]

I have never been on one but know people that have them...Never heard much bad about them myself?

It really depends on whats pushing it I guess?

Hmm. Well its being powered by twin 150 2 strokes with 340hrs each approx. My last boat which also happened to be my first boat was a 21.5 Pursuit. I imaging the proline would be much much more boat. I fish the islands the mouth etc.

Not that it really matters, but apparently they went out of business recently. There are a lot of proline boats in the southern US. Go on the THT website and ask Mike Carrigan, he is a former employee, he is very knowledgable and will answer a lot of your questions.

In terms of quality they are a step below pursuits which IMO are at or near the top. The newer ones look nice though and a 26 would sure be a nice step up from a 21. Moonsnails rig looks ideal. I thought he was based out of Bammy though? Moved?

 

[the fog ducker]

he moves around . picks up his customers , Poet , Bam , Uki , Tofino....
seen him mostly outta Uki last year..

There is a guy thats sells them out of Pacific Playgrounds Marina. Don't know his name.. He also sells lead.

 

[Last Chance]

I don't know. The one I saw, a recent one 31 foot(2004 I think) was really nice in the layout, but opening up the bilge hatch revealed plywood stringers with a very poor CSM matt and gelcoat coating on them.

 

[the fog ducker]

ya , i dont think i'd put em the same sentence a s a pursuit or even a grady ,
But , a decdent boat ta say the least , i looked at a few before i bought my Striper..

imo of course : )

There is a discussion going on right now on the THT regarding "1999 Pro line 251 vs 2001 26 walk" that you may find interesting.
If you are interested take a look at this:
