I'll offer some advice when I get home, if interested. Rule #1 - buy used, let someone else eat the depreciation...just make sure the motor is in good working order.

You looking for fiberglass or aluminum?

To late homie. It's in my driveway. I went with the Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW. Aluminum hull and a 60 hp Motor.

Im interested in rule 2 though.

That works with boats in the US? a well maintained boat here losses virtually nothing, our 25 year old cabin cruiser is still worth $15,000 with no accessories.

I suppose you guys arent much of a boating nation so there emotional attachment isnt really there to keep the price steady.

Is 60 hp enough?
It wont be the 70 knots im used to but for a Bass boat it is plenty. Tournament fishing only allows up to 250. I would wreck a boat like that. 60 does just fine. I dont know what top speed is but ive had it up to 30 mph and that seems pretty damn fast enough to get to the fish.

Durring the winter in Utah boats can be found all over the place for half price.

Open invitation for any TMAAC member to come fishing. I feel pretty safe considering I went fishing with La Paix @BirdWatcher and he didn't kill me like he did to his renter.
You're lucky my daughter liked yours, she can be very particular and I don't like to see her upset.

Fuck I knew I shoulda got the big one lol. $9,000 more and I could upgraded to a boat 1 foot longer and the motor is 115 hp.

But seriously, I would just try to ski behind that shit and do something really fucking stupid. Trust me. I mean I slide cars sideways for fun. I stay off of two wheels for the same reaso. I dont know when enough is enough and someone usually ends up hurt.

I should fucking ban you for this. Do they take returns at Bass Pro???
Your going to do it eventually for one reason or another so you might as well just get it out of the way. I dont think they do.
