I have a Pro Mag 182 with a 140 Suzuki, bought new in 2015. It’s been a fantastic boat for what I use it for. Don’t do tournaments anymore so I don’t need the speed like I used to, but it’ll still cruise along in the high 40s (mph).
I use it for everything from skinny water largemouth to downrigging on the bay, and it’ll handle some huge water. Fit and finish is at par with other boats I’ve owned, and I’ve never had any issues at all with either the boat, trailer or motor, just the usual maintenance and wear and tear stuff. I’d buy another one again in a heartbeat.

I've got an older Smokercraft Magnum as well and am very happy with it...


I can't punch out of the hole, but I don't really care about that

As SF stated ...absolute minimum of maintenance done on my rig and still going strong, trailer as well


I would get another if I was going to upgrade
