I would think a guide would likely take care of a boat better than average, but yes lots of use on motor and carpet, hinges, ect.
I think just like the rest of us, it depends on the guide.
I only hired a guide once. I would NOT buy his boat. It was either full throttle or trolling. No in between. The splash well was green with scum. It had terrible dock rash and looked dirty and battered.
To him it was used as a tool.and not something to be proud of. This guy fished so often and hard that I have a hard time believing he made any time for preventative maintenance during the season. Maybe he did, not sure. The motor did run like a top but the whole package sure got used hard.
That was just that guy though. I'm sure others are different. |
