Who is Boat Shopping in 2020

[Bud Kennedy]

If you are in the market this year we would like to hear about it.  What make and model are you considering and are you think new or used.  Always fun to see what folks are considering as their next fishing machine.  We had a few folks with new or newer rides this year.  Up first in 2020 is Zippyduck and his new to him Stratos.  This past year saw a new Vexus, and a new Nitro and a couple of Trackers.

Don't forget Brad's Bullet.

I'm looking at a new Caymas but don't know if I can pull the trigger. Great looking boat and I like the lay out.

I'm always looking but baring a major engine malfunction or a stupid crazy deal that will never happen I doubt Ill purchase. Boats (and other things) have priced me out.

I'm pulling the trigger this year. I'm probably going with a new Bass Cat Margay. I must say, their customer service has been amazing and they have bent over backwards to answer all my questions. They also said that they will make sure my build will fit in my garage which has been my deal breaker with every other boat.  My local dealer Aqua Tech Marine also has been amazing and a big help in figuring out my set up. I can't wait!!

bud, guess I need to ask for clarification.

shopping is not the same as buying is it?  or maybe, for my answer, I should have you guys ask your wives? 

always looking.  always thinking.  3 boats on top of the list
1. ranger 188p w/4stroke 115hp - WOT possibly 49-50?
2. lund 1875 w/4stroke 200hp - WOT perhaps right at 58-59
3. vexus 1880 w/4stroke 115hp - think WOT might be 'around' 50mph

in no particular order.  center deck rod boxes.  for 8 footers.
the LUND will take up to 9 footers (dual purpose muskie boat).  the LUND is also by far the higher priced. but needs that 200 to push it.  plus that LUND has the 'pop up' tackle box behind the seats.

add a couple 12 inch sonar units, and an ultrex...plus a few bells and whistles...  $$ range would run $35K on lower end all the way up to over $ 50K.
