Recommend a boat

[sky hawk]

I'm hoping to buy a boat sometime next year or the following year. I'm hoping Covid to be over and people who bought boats during this pandemic will view them as expensive on-the-water clothes racks. Sitting there in the garage unused next to the treadmill.

It will probably be that long before the supply surpasses demand at the rate we're going.

Reviving an old thread here. Long story short through a friend of a friend I stumbled upon on older model ranger that had been really well taken care of. I’m in it for cheap and figured since the majority of what we do is freshwater bass fishing I’d better seize the opportunity. We’ve been out a handful of times just filling the boat out and managed to catch some good fish.

Nice rig!!! My problem with a bass boat is having grandkids and daughters going as well and not having a place to store indoors so the carpet will not last long...I figure with a center console the seats can be recovered every few years...

Thats my problem- other than cost. The wife is going to only want 1 boat, so its gotta fill duty as a fishing rig and a pleasure ride. Less upholstery the better in my opinion.
