50 to 55 thousand dollars, even 45 thousand is not a budget boat, unless your rich. I saw a Triton TR21 2004 beautiful boat on the internet yesterday and it was listed for 28,000. With a Murk 250. That’s a good deal. That’s still a lot of money to most good ol boys out here trying to make a living but love to fish. The bass boat industry is getting out of hand and out of touch with the Fishman. A budget bass boat would be a Bass Tracker 190 PT or a 195 TXW. Most people could afford one of them. It’s insane to spend 50 thousand for a boat that only sees water maybe 4 times a month. And a bass boat for a weekend tournament guy, is a terrible investment. Especially if you buy one because you all of the sudden think your a pro. 6 months later after you’ve got your but kicked in every tournament you’ve entered you realize what a stupid thing you’ve done. Next step Craig’s list! I have been bass fishing 45 years and started fishing Bass Federation tournament’s back in the early 80’s. I had a Bass Tracker boat. Our club had about 40 members. I averaged winning out of 10 tournaments a year in our club 3 or 4 tournaments out of 10. Several of our guy’s went out and bought the latest high dollar bass boats. At that time Ranger 363 bass masters boat was the thing. One of the guy’s in our club bought one. He never finished in the money. But he looked like a pro. Remember the boat still doesn’t make the fishermen. You can spend great amounts of money and look like your a big time pro. But if you can’t fish at that pro level, your crazy for spending 50 thousand dollars or more. Remember, the pros spend 250 to 300 day’s a year on the water. You don’t come anywhere close to that. Time spent on the water is what makes a fisherman great. Not weekend fishing!

@@TeamMarineService To much! Unless you put down a big down payment. But financing a boat for 10 or 15 years is crazy to. By the time it’s payed off you’ve lost your but in interest money. I’m not saying don’t do it. But for the weekend warier, finding a good used rig makes more sense, unless you make a great living to afford the big new boat. I was laughed at all the time when I fished in B. A.S.S. Federations tournaments back in the 80’s. Guy’s in my club called me the ten man, beer can boat and all sorts of other funny remarks about my Tracker. But I always had fun opening up my live well and filling up my weigh-in bag. That’s when the funny comments ended.

Do i buy new or used? Im thinking aluminum boat? Motorwise would I be in 75-100 hp? Thx for any guidance u can give me.

You say that 40k like it is nothing. My income hasn't changed since I bought my bass boat in 1996. Well actually I make 4k more a year than I did in 1996, but my health insurance alone eats that 4k. Vehicles and these toys prices need to be cut to one third of their current prices to get back in line with the new middle class america.
