Growing up broke we delt with being our own mechanics and fought to keep our junk running. We did well with cars but struggled with our boats. Fast forward last year I bought a $3000 tiller thinking Id be good for a couple of years. I soon regretted the tiller, I took it in for a good spring tune up so I could fish this summer and not fight with a boat. Of course the carbs needed $500 worth of work and over the winter an electrical part went out. Long story short $900 to fix a boat Im not really happy with anyway.
So Ive decided I want to go brand new. Im not a tournament guy if I do we use my buddies boat. I panfish/walleye/catfish just as much as bass fish. Just a weekend warrior but I want something reliable and nice. Looking to spend between $15,000 to $25,000 AT MOST. Just looking for suggestions. Going to look at a Tracker 175 TXW tomorrow. Im not in a huge hurry yet the season is right around the corner. So many choices wanna make sure I make the right one.
