I had not been to the boat show in years but went yesterday on some free tickets. 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...
