johnd Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 buddy sent me Trader listing for a 2009 1900 Fusion. (located in Jacksonville) Never heard of this model?? Appears to have flip up brackets for push pole in gunnel (like old Redfisher), helm very 'modern' looking.. back deck hatches very different from earlier 1900 models. This board is filled with knowledgeable folks, so any history about the hull, ride, boat, etc would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lap it Up Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 MBC made a 19 and 21 fusion in the mid 2000’s. Basically they’re flats boat hulls of the time with a pathfinder stand up console and lean post. I’ve seen several 21’s for sale. The 19 is more rare to see. I’d imagine it rides like a flats boat, except you’re standing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tender Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 I thought the fusion was almost along the lines of a Pathfinder hull cut down for less freeboard. Had a deck layout similar to a flats boat and like Lap it Up said a leaning post and stand up console. The 21's I remember seeing had 250hp+, 19's with a 150. I imagine the ride being similar to a 19' Pathfinder. I kinda remember them launching it when everyone was broke from the great recession and they didn't sell many and quickly abandoned the idea.

Lap it Up Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 The 21 pathfinder fusion is a 21 Redfisher hull and I believe the 19 is based off the 18 light tackle Hewes of the time. they were not cutdown bay boats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good try, but, not well thought out by MBG...it died quietly.......What Lap said is correct on the hulls...basically RF hulls with the ability to stand while driving.... BRING BACK THE 21 MA.....never understood why it was discontinued... OP - if you are thinking about buying one....consider re-sale value....

Can’t speak much for the 1900, but the 2100 fusion fetches good money and has held its value very well. It’s one of my favorite MBC boats and I follow a lot of the sales.

Good info Lap....I've only seen discounting on the 1900....if the 21 holds...interesting, but, must b a specific buyer...that was my concern when I mentioned consider re-sale. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linesider 159 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Have a good amount of time on a 21 fusion with 250 sho. The 21 fusion is a bay boat cap with a redfisher 21 hull, the 19 fusion is a 18 redfisher hull with bay boat cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
