My son and I went to Bass Pro to get resupplied for one of our Canadian fishing trips in June. (spring fever. cabin fever) We saw some very pretty boats. Very nice but very expensive. 20K for an 18' fishing boat. I thought, my word, I could redo my old one five times over for that. With the prices of used boats and the little use most get, why would anyone spend that type of money? A couple of years ago We bought a tracker new, but it was at 2year old new model and got it very cheap for the summer place. But my old 79 thundercraft does the job quite well for Canada and I would not feel horrible if I hit a Canadian rock fish with it. I don't think I have $1200.00 invested in it not including the electronics and it is a wonderful old boat. Not to knock the new purchasers as I have bought new in my younger days, but now I am older and wiser. They sure were pretty though. AND such BIG motors!
