Overview

Why the V2090

Originally built from the ground up for precision backtrolling, the V2090 Backtroller has now proven itself as a dominant platform in the fast-evolving Forward-Facing Sonar game. Anglers who have chased fish from the bow of a 2090 know there is simply nothing else on the water that delivers this level of control, balance, and maneuverability.

Add in exceptional space for multiple anglers, industry-leading dry storage, and an unrivaled rod storage system, and the V2090 stands far ahead of anything in its class. And when you power it with up to a 250 XL outboard, the performance becomes even more impressive.

Backed by the most reliable hydraulic tiller steering system ever introduced, the Pro Tiller II, the 2090 remains one of the strongest reasons to own a Warrior boat. Prefer to match the steering to your outboard? Order it with Mercury Steering, Yamaha Electric Steering or UFlex instead.

When precision matters, the V2090 delivers.
