You can say that again!!!

Thanks for the info on the boat. I think I will just be patient and see what happens, but man this money is burning a hole in my pocket and dying to be spent on a boat lol

I will spend up to 20k now....!!! Don’t wait until the winter if you have already been thinking about selling

Thanks for all the info, I think I may jump up in price a bit and look for a bigger boat based off all the info here. Looking at a ranger 198vx now or something similar, maybe even a nitro z7.....

So many choices and my gosh boats are so over priced right now lol

Thanks so much for all the help and replies, it truly is much appreciated!!

I do have 1 more question, if a boat has a quarter size gouge on the bottom/side what would that cost to get fixed and when it’s down to the resin can you still use the boat and will it take on any water?

I definitely prefer the four strokes...... oil change every 100 hours, similar to your car engine every 3k miles, and simple to do yourself. 2 strokes burn oil with the gas, which can get pricey... I used to average 16 gallons per year at $25 per gallon on top of the annual service cost. Even thoug...

Both are good starter boats but I’d definitely go with the Ranger. + Better brand Recognition + 4 Stroke SHO (never pay for oil) + Better electronics I’m kinda new to the 4stroke so you would mind elaborating. You don’t have to buy oil with a 4stroke or do oil changes? Also is the 115 going to last...

I have no intention of flooring the boat more than probably 2 times for the entire time I own it. Once when I test drive it and once when I show a potential seller down the line lol. I have another question, since the boat only has 20 hours and has not technically been broken in over the last 12 yea...

As the title suggests I’m looking for opinions and experiences in deciding which boat to buy. I have the opportunity to buy 2009 285XL Stratos with 20 hours on the 150 mercury optim max motor from a elderly gentleman who bought the boat and wasn’t able to use it so it stays in storage for most of it...

UPDATE- I’m willing to spend up to 20k for the right rig ASAP. Let me know what you have !!! Greetings fellow bass masters- I am looking to buy a used bass boat (glass) between 17-20 feet. Looking at 2003 and newer and would prefer a boat with a swing away tongue. I don’t want to spend more than 15k...
