Wow that's awesome. Let me ask you a question though. Did your boat came with any warranty? I think buying an almost brand new boat would be an excellent idea however I font know much about boat and if anything goes wrong I would have to fork out money. That's my only worry. Other than that I'm considering that option as well

Ok I see what you mean now. The mako skiff 17 cc has an inverted u hull. Would it still do this. Just wondering.

One more thing if I buy a bass aluminum boat would it be ok to take it into the intercostal?

I found the boat on craigslistThanks

Thanks for the answer. Yeah I guess it would be for mostly freshwater but if I could go in the intercostal it would be a plus. What do you mean by the skiff killing me. Lol. I don't know much about boat so if u could explain to me why I would appreciate it. I clicked on that craigslist and it says that the page it's wrong. However if that deal it's still on, that would be an awesome deal. Thank u again for your answer and hopefully more insight from u.

Thank you for your reply. I was looking online at that boat it look awesome. It's a bit bigger and more space than the 175 right? The only thing I'm afraid of buying new it would be warranty. This would be my first boat n if something goes wrong I dont know how to fix anything. Will some used boat come with warranty still. If they do. I wouldn't mind buying one. Thanks for the info

Thanks I been looking at them.

Read above. I forgot to quote u. Thanks

Thank you for your response slonezp Where can I find the price for the rangers as I would like to do sone research on them as well, or only the dealer will be able to get me the prices? Yeah also looking into a almost new boat will be a good idea. Thank you

Hello everybody. This is my first post. I have been looking into buying a new bass boat or skiff boat. I would like to spend no more than 20k with taxes and all. I would be financing the boat. I have a few boat that I been looking at 1) mako skiff pro 17 cc and mako pro skiff 16 cc 2) tracker team pro 175 txw The 175 comes with 2 live wells and a trolling motor and a fish finder as well as more fishing room. But I heard that the mako fiberglass boat are better handling more sturdy but none of the other toys. So far I have only been to bass pro shops and seen the boats first hand. I have been doing some research and seen that a lot of people have problems with tracker boats and that the quality on mako has gone down in the last few years. I have also gone online and looked at some ranger boats but I can't find a price and they look more price as I see that they're smallest boat comes with a 75 hp engine and most of them come with a 115 hp. Any input would be highly appreciate it as I would want to do as much research as possible until I buy my first boat. I live in Broward county the only close dealership I seen is bass pro shops and a ranger in pompano beach but they're inventory saids zero. Thanks again.
