Thanks Guys ..... as I said in the post above I am speaking with an Accountant and other Professionals. Funny thing is, I spoke to a few and many dont understand this tax. I will continue to hunt for one that does but think I am safe from the tax in this scenario listed above and was looking to see if anyone else was dealing with this now or in the past and may have some good input. Thanks again!

Hey Guys I am sure this question is asked a lot. I am not producing or making any products, I am in the process of opening a Tackle Shop and will discuss this with my Accountant and probably also have to call the IRS directly but thought I would ask here too .... My question is two fold for anyone that may know. 1st Question - There is a company that manufacturers plastic baits that my business intends to use. They sell in large quantities and also will charge my business 10% Excise Tax. When I get these plastic baits in I do not make any changes to them nor add anything to them, I just will bag them and sell them under my private label. Since the manufacturer is charging me excise tax, I dont believe I need to pay excise tax when I sell them as I did not manufacture them or change them in anyway. Does any one know if that is correct or not? 2nd Question - I will be carrying other products from many companies, such as ZMan, Berkley, Strike King etc..... selling those products retail is exempt from Excise Tax for me, correct? Thanks for any help, appreciate it. Again .... I know I need to ask professionals and will, I just was hoping for help from someone here who may have first hand knowledge of this. TIA

Hey Everyone, We are looking for a couple more Boaters for our Club. We are fishing with the PA BASS FEDERATION (TBF) in District 3. If you have been thinking of joining a club or are looking for a new club, reach out to us. We would love to talk with you! www.EliteForceBassmasters.com

Hey Guys need some help. My club is looking to fish in the Delaware River next year in our Tournament circuit. We are mainly all located in Glen Mills PA area and Maryland area. I have never fished the Delaware before and know the bags will probably be smaller BUT we are all looking forward to exploring new water. Can anyone point me in the right direction on Boat Launches and what parts to fish? I dont mean locations as in giving up your spots I just am looking for feedback as I heard their is an upper section etc etc etc I want to make sure we are fishing in the safest part with the best opportunity to catch. We all for the most part have glass boats. TIA!

THANKS GUYS FOR THE RESPONSES. I am holding tight and finishing this year with my Ranger. I am nervous about this move so if my gut is nervous Im going to listen to it and reevaluate in the offseason.

i have a Verado 175 on my Ranger Z518c I owe 20k at 5.6% for about 10 more years. Looking at other Rangers for sale like mine I believe I can sell close to 30k. I do pay more monthly so it will payoff faster. I want a Bigger Boat with at least a 225 on it and it would nice to get a warranty with the new boat for a few years if needed. I believe the interest rate should be at 6% for 15years with 10k down.

Its a 250L Pro XS Four Stroke with torque master. If I downsize to a 225 it drops to 49,999 Its a great deal. Just hard to let my 2012 Ranger go but I think the Nitro would the smart move

Thanks Guys .... I did price it out aBrand New Z20 2019 Nitro for $51,175. Crazy how cheap it is with all these features. This is why I am struggling on trading in my Ranger or not.

Ranger z520 is running for @ $70k, Nitro z20 is running for @ 52k

Thats my issue. I have a Ranger and feel even though I am upsizing that I may be losing out getting a Nitro. However, I have heard Nitro has taken huge steps forward over the last 3 or so years and are making good boats. I would very much like a bigger boat and a 250 with warranties (as my boats warranties are done). I just can not afford a new Ranger but can afford the Nitro. Thanks for the input. LOL thanks

Yes not to bad. They seem nice. I heard all kinds of rumors like their seats fall apart within a year stupid stuff like that. The boat looks nice, it felt nice sitting in it but I did not take it for a ride.

Hi Everyone, I have a 2012 Ranger Z518C with a 175 Verado. Its in good shape with low miles. I still owe about 20k on this boat. In my area, it looks like I could probably sell for about 28 - 32k. I keep reading how much better Nitros have been made in the last coupe of years. I would really like to upgrade to a 20ft boat with a 250 four stroke but the new Rangers are out of my price range. The Nitros however are about 20k cheaper. What are your thoughts about moving from an older Ranger to a New Nitro, good or bad? Thanks for any input.

Alright...thanks guys. Just don't want to but something and regret it later!

he told me it's not removable as in you just reach down and pull it out. He said you would have to break it to get it out. Since I'm not wanting to break anything on a new boat, does it matter that each side is only 13 gallons in size? Is that to small of a shape for 5bass over 15 inches? Or should I just bust it out and use a culling system when I have a rider on board?

Hey Guys...can you fill me in here as well...I was looking at a left over 2014 too! Thanks
