Been thinking about upgrading my electronics, so I went to check everything out. While I ended up buying a new Garmin fish finder, that wasn't the story. It turns out people have lost their friggin' minds with these fishin' boats. I saw bass boats for over $80K. Someone told me there was a Ranger there for $109K but I didn't see it. I recall the day when a buddy spent about $25K for a bass boat and I told him he lost his forking mind. I'm trying to imagine the conversation where I tell the Mrs. that I'm going to drop $80K+ on a bass boat. I envision a frying pan coming at me in a rapid motion... So, who among us has one of these $60K-$70K+ fishin' boats? On a related note, I can see it wouldn't take long to spend $5K - $10K on electronics either. I dropped $1,000 this weekend and didn't impress anyone... -------------------- "Hunts are best measured by the endurance of the memories they produce..."

His was all of two years old.... ...but.... ....as long as your boat is less than two years old - if you place first in a tournament they will give you $10k advertisement money because you used their boat to fish out of..... ....but.... ....there has to be a minimum of 60 boats registered in the tournament They won a tournament on Truman year before last...had 56 boats registered :lol: Post Extras:       HAUS member for now Reged: 12/14/05 Posts: 4054 Loc: Paradise Re: Bass Boats $$$ [Re: dabs]       #261088 - 02/10/20 03:49 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   -------------------- Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day..
