Re: First boat help

If your budget is tight, I recommend saving for the boat, and then saving additional money for boat repair before purchasing. Boats are a money pit. If it were me i'd spend 5K on a used fiberglass boat. Have boat/motor checked out by a marine mechanic. Clear lake with a small alluminum boat would be...

Re: New Boat purchase

I think step one would be to move up in truck a little. That will give you a little more leeway when your waiting to find a deal on a boat. If you could swing a glass boat they are heavier, but they also fish a lot better. Tough to control a small tin boat in the wind while trying to fish. Sounds li...
