1997 Pro Sports 1960cc

For a 19-footer, this hull feels bigger than the tape measure suggests. The high freeboard and flared bow give you confidence when the wind kicks up, while the open bow deck and simple, self-bailing cockpit make it easy to work a fish from any angle. The helm layout leaves room to move, not just gadgets, so you’re not dancing around consoles when the bite turns chaotic. Under-gunwale storage and forward space for a cooler or cast net keep the deck uncluttered. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense center console that favors fishability and ease of cleaning over frills, which is exactly what many anglers really want.

This 1960CC hits a sweet spot for waters where you may jump from shallow bays to choppy open stretches in a single day. The moderate draft and relatively light hull make it easy to nose into creeks, sandbars, and nearshore structure, while the sharp entry helps soften short, sloppy chop that’s so common in mixed inshore/nearshore areas. Its manageable size is ideal for trailering to different ramps and avoiding crowded marinas. You get enough length for a reassuring ride on windier afternoons, but not so much boat that storage, towing, or solo launching becomes a chore.
