Why?  Anyway, a Nitro Z17 will run you $30,995 before tax and prep.  Stratos might have some remaining inventory for less.  I wouldn't settle for any of them.

The price , duh……

I'd buy a much nicer tin boat for $30 if that was my budget.

brand new, how you can find used one and make sure thats a good deal? Unless it is your friend or family want to sell.

I'd look for a used Lund.  It's moot though, since my next boat will be a much larger bay boat.

Have it inspected by an independent mechanic.  You can also get a warranty from a dealer.

Have the seller perform compression test, test drive, ask for maintenance records, have it inspected by a mechanic as well, see what warranties transfer with ownership.

While I appreciate fine high-end equipment I personally think the above "settle" comment is a bit demeaning to those that do just fine with their Stratos or Nitro.

It's just my opinion.  I would not settle for it. It's not for me.  What you decide to do with your money is your business.

Again, I'd look for a slightly used boat.  $26 - 30k is a ton of money for not much boat.  If you check out my thread below, you can see what I'm looking at.  These boats do not appear to be even close to 1/5 of what I'm getting.  BTW, a similar boat to that Alumacraft - actually a 17' tiller - was $6k 20 years ago.  Boat prices are absurd.

Don't see where the original posted asked for opinions. Could have probably used "least expensive" rather than "cheapest".

You have a lot of judgement for someone with thin skin.

Brand new

[SWVABass]

Honestly in today’s economy everything is over priced. Wait a couple months most likely you will find a lightly used new boat for super cheap cause the repo man is coming or the bank already got it back. Lots of folks went in during the pandemic and are now going to get crushed, sucks for them but if you have the finances you are primed to take advantage. Just my .02 cents. That’s why I opted for an older model new kayak, got it at a discount cause everyone wanted the newest and a 2yr old boat wouldn’t move.

Why are you fixated on new if you don’t mind me asking?

I want to learn to have boat, Since I know nothing about boats, I need the cheapest option that have no history of violence

If I have friend who wants to sell and I trust him,  For sure ill get his boat, Otherwise I need brand new with all factory and dealer warranties to make sure that I am covered for anything might comes my way.

[J Francho]

I think you'd do fine with a 5 year old boat from a reputable dealer with a warranty. That would save you a ton of cash and get you in a boat that was less hassle. My last boat was a 20 yeas old hull and a rebuilt 15 year old motor: Bullet 21XDC with a Merc Racing 2.5 ProMax Short Shaft. That boat ran me $8500. I paid cash for it. It was an 85 mph, 22', dual console, glitter rocket.

I wouldn’t hesitate to go get a decent used rig. More boat for your money and if it’s what you’re learning on do you really want it brand new?

I just read;lly afraid of used have major problem and I dont know, But as @J Francho said, I can trust reliable  dealer like the one @WRB said and use their warranty so I guess I am going that way.

probably next week you going to hear from me.
