Tonight I finally figured out what my issue has been the last 6 months... trust. Everything is 30 yrs old... even 20 + yrs is the same, trust. I distrust the fact that the good life has been sucked out of the boat/motor. What is the point of spending 4 grand on a boat then there is that chance the motor will blow and now you're spending another 5 grand for a motor. I found a couple nice 04 Bass Trackers in my area but no title with no interest of obtaining one either...
So my initial budget was 3-4 grand hoping for a 6 grand boat... but they just aren't out there.. at least not what I want.
I did some soul searching and I've made a tentative deal on a 2016 LOWES Stinger 175 with a 60 Merc 4 stroke. He's added a $700 finder, updated trolling motor to a 24v 80#, letting me have all the extras like life jackets oars, ect.. comes with a 3 bank charger and has warranty until 2021 Priced under the nada price and I've looked at boat trader and way under what those folks are asking for by several grand... Bottom line its take over payments and its all about the details now. If everything goes well I'll own my first boat in a couple weeks.
This is the boat
