I was thinking about getting myself a new curado, but i want to wait if the new model is coming out soon. Does anyone new when they are going to be realeased? Thanks, VC

The guy with the boat that has the rotten spots got back to me with this email: "The couple of soft spots are hardly serious, it's just flooring, has absolutely nothing to do with the integrity of the hull and there is zero risk involved other than it can be annoying (which is why I suggested putting a piece of treated wood over it). If you actually looked at it you would be able to see that it isn't really a big deal at all"

Do you know how i would go about finding one of these sites?

You need to look at those boats again my man. 3 out of 5 have exactly what you asked for. You're probably not far from St. Anthony, right? It looks like that Sea Nymph is at a dealership. Go check it out this weekend before you see the fiberglass boat. Seriously. I think it will help you out a lot. I wouldnt mind that boat at all, but i dont have $3500 and if i did i would be all over a bass tracker

When its a 30 year old boat already exhibiting problems, yes. Not what i wanted to hear but thanks I was in your shoes a couple of months ago. I know all these "negative" comments are probably discouraging you from buying your first boat, but they should be seriously considered. What's the point in forking over $1k if you have to spend another $2-3k fixing a rotten floor and transom? Why not just save that money and buy a nicer/newer rig? This is definitely not a decision you want to rush. There are a ton of boats out there, plenty have been added to this thread for you to see. Make sure to consider what these guys are talking about because so far everything I've read is very sound advice. Good luck finding one! yea ll probably pass on this one and wait for a tracker to come along in my price range

Like i said before it has everything i want. Storage, trolling motor, pedistal seats, been taking care of (besides the floor). If the floor is a very small area should i give it a shot? The other boats you showed dont really have what im looking for

Wow i thought i would get a better response! I didnt even think about it being fiberglass...Is that really a big deal when on the lake?

Thanks for the response. I actually found another boat and posted it on the first page. Let me know what you think of that one Thanks, VC

Honestly that looks too bulky :-/ BTW thanks for looking! I like the second one i had because it has EVERYTHING. Like you said the only setup would be rotted spots so when i go and check it out i will take that into account.

he said it was just a small spot in the back. Im going to check it out on Sunday, but only a $1000 for everything i need and more would be a sweet deal.

Wow i continued to search and found this listing http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/boa/1607882426.html It is right by my house and i got it down to $1000 What do you guys think? Im going out there Saturday and hes gunna start her up for me and show me the boat. Is this a good deal? Thanks, VC

O no i dont have my mind made up at all. It just seems like i would need a bigger boat if i would have more than two people on board. Honestly i just want your opinions to help me decide if this is a good first time boat for me.

Yea he just said it was too small, because he needs a minimum of a 16 ft to do tournaments. I mean ive never even owned a boat i dont know if this is super small or what. The most that will be on the boat at one time is two

It is an '85. I really dont fish with more than 2 people anyway...

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/boa/1624239981.html I may be getting this boat if it passes inspection. I was just wondering if any of you could give me more info about this boat and it it is a good deal at $1800. I live in MN so that is a long drive i want to make sure its worth it. Thanks, VC

GT70 MH Is that what you were asking for?

I meant action

A few months ago i purchased an HMG for $50!! Yea it was a sweet deal, but im starting to wonder when i can use it. It is a 7' MH (doesnt say the action on it). I was hoping i could use it as my frog/pitching rod, but i havent got one response back saying i should. I dont know what to do because i want a versital setup and a frog rod/pitching setup and i dont know if this fits either. Thanks, VC

I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT FOR A SECOND THERE!! haha i go to Bethel University in MN and i saw the link and said no way, but of course it wasnt meant to be :-/

I guess my best fishing times are different then the rest of the responses....My favorite time is fish is around 6pm to sundown

How long is this sale going for?

I posted earlier about trying to find a descent frog rod. Cabelas has a buy one get one free on their casting rods. Would the 7'6" version work well with what i am looking for? Also would i get the xh? or H? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0065081&type=pod&cmCat=catfeatfish Thanks, VC

Thanks this really helps!

Is there any particular time when i should think about using a more flashy chartreuse color?
