| This thread has kind of taken a turn for the worse. I didn't want to start a debate. The reason I asked was because of the prices I saw at the Milwaukee boat show. When I bought My 619dvs in 2005, brand new, I paid around $35,000 for the boat, trailer, motor( 200 0pti), minn=kota maxxum 74, lowrance 125, on the bow. No kicker, no console locator. After I added that stuff I was up around 39000. This was in september of '05. Last week,at the milwaukee boat show, I priced the new 619 with a single console, the same motor, and trailer. The price was $40,000. They had a 619 there rigged like mine,(except for the 225 pro xs) for almost $50,000. I compared this to the Tuffy 1890 with a 200 0pti. and was quoted a price of $36,500. They didn't have an 1890 at the show but have seen some on this site and they really look awesome. I just can't believe how Ranger has increased their prices. Who can afford that? The only reason I could afford my boat was because I inherited a car from my dad! I didn't even bother to look at the show price on the 621, it must have been $60,000!! I Didn't want to imply that Tuffy was somehow inferior or anything, I just thought it was strange that they didn't have a lifetime hull warranty. If I had it to do over again right now, I wouldn't even consider the Ranger. If any of you guys with an 1890 ever make it to Pewaukee Lake I would really love to have a ride! | |
