boostr Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 When my wife said we need a bigger one... So gonna upgrade to an 19 footer sometime in the future. Her reasoning is so she can lay on the back deck and me and my son can fish together on the front deck.... I was like ? 4 4 Quote
InfantryMP Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Start shopping now if looking for a new one! Quote
boostr Posted August 30, 2021 Author Posted August 30, 2021 Yeah, I may have to go with a Tracker 190TX if going new for the 25k budget and used I may look at a Ranger RT or Triton 19xp. Unless I can find a not to old and in good shape glass boat in that price range. Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted August 30, 2021 Super User Posted August 30, 2021 Careful. It's a seller's market. Quote

Super User scaleface Posted August 30, 2021 Super User Posted August 30, 2021 My wife wanted a pontoon . Instead I found a 1997 22 foot Lowe deck boat . She lays in the back and reads while I fish off the front deck . Its a good compromise . The local boat dealership has 1998 model right now for sell unless he already found a buyer . They dont last long . 1 Quote
DaubsNU1 Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Call the dealer today. Put down a deposit TODAY! Strike while the iron is hot! Do not give her time to change mind : ) 4 years ago we moved from the burbs to an acreage...I told the wife one of my conditions was a John Deere for the new place...she agreed, and I had this in the garage less than a week later (craigslist find) 3 Quote
Super User Log Catcher Posted August 31, 2021 Super User Posted August 31, 2021 You're lucky. My wife wants me to get a bigger boat that won't fit in the garage so she can get her car in there. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 31, 2021 Global Moderator Posted August 31, 2021 My wife did the same when she found out she was pregnant with our first son. She said that we weren't all 3 going to fit in the boat I had at the time. I sold mine and spent almost 2 years shopping until I found the one I wanted. 2 Quote
Rich12 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 19 footer simply wont work. Tell her you should get a Jaguar so you can both lay out and spend quality time. Quote
