Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | this would be my third boat. my first was a like a 9ft plastic bass tender. we put some nice fish in that boat for sure. not that it matters. i wasn't whining...but 10,000 is a lot of money. even for you andrew don't you get that tuffy discount anyways? hook a brother up
*boats are expensive. rods are expensive. reels are expensive. pretty much everything is expensive. $10K for a boat really isnt. i dont have the pricing in front of me, but I would guess that a 2 or 3 year old 60hp merc is somewhere in the neighborhood of $5K, plus another $1K in trolling motor + locators, plus $500 to $1K in the trailer...and the balance is the boat itself. $10K sitting in your wallet is alot of money, but when you break down the price of a boat.....everything is expensive, but $10K for a boat.... versus other boats with that motor on them....not too expensive.
actually, that might be a GREAT price for that boat, check out this listing: http://www.boats.com/listing/cache/listing_search_validate.jsp?sear...
Or, I did a search on Boats.com, came up with a few listings. (parameters were crestliner, from 17.6 to 18', any location, under $10K). You'll note one boat is really old, there's this boat (the topic of the thread) and a bunch of boats MINUS motors.
