I have been looking for some time now in search of the perfect used bass boat. I am wanting a good, reliable, and fairly cheap bass rig. It seems like people are wanting an arm and leg for older bass boats as well as new ones. However after reading the forums here and talking to others....I have determined that finding a boat in my price range is possible. I was thinking in my situation that I would be better off buying an older boat with a newer engine than a somewhat newer boat that the engine could blow up at any point. Engines can get pretty expensive to replace...What kind of advice can you guys give me??? I really appreciate your help!! ???
