Many of you may have noticed a few years back that we made a switch in boat companies. The boat I picked up yesterday is the reason why. When Rob met with us a couple of years ago about coming over to Supreme Boats, we had an opportunity to work with someone that would listen to what we needed and continue to make changes to design until we get there. We are here. This is the new 207. This boat is a flat bottom with a redesigned tunnel and unbelievable new sleek lines. I have yet to be in a boat that gets on step so easy. Twenty five percent throttle, and you’re there. It sits higher on the water than anything else I’ve ever owned. It absolutely handles perfectly.
I rarely get excited anymore when I get a new one since I have owned so many of these. For the most part they are typically the same. Just a change in color and no scratches. This boat, however, has me stoked! It is way different. I usually would have a fairly long list of things I would change with any new boat I’ve been in . Currently, my list for the new 207 has zero items.
This is a complete redesign of this boat is super sexy. It is a true flat bottom giving you a full 18 plus inches of free board on each rear corner allowing better performance with the jet than the old rocker design. Seeing how most of you are joining me on the dark side with the jet engine. We needed a hull that was made to perform with one. The front deck is flush. The anchor system is 100% custom and hidden. Rob has worked with Dierks, the leading anchor system for drift boats, to design these to work with our river jons. The rod storage is protected. The impressive part is in the fine detail. The fit and finish of this boat is unsurpassed.
Here’s a little history: Many years ago Rob Williams bought Shawnee boats. A little later he had an opportunity to buy Supreme. And then a few years back, under the same roof, he launched a drift boat named the Predator. All of these are being built at the Supreme facility in Mountain Home, Arkansas. He keeps in stock tons of custom accessories including anchor systems, Sawyer oars, Yeti coolers, and all the things you need for a Rouse Fly Fishing boat. Customer service is unbelievable.
