If Megabass baits and rods are expensive how much you think they are going to ask for this puppy ?

Megabass Destroyer Edition carbon fiber boat.

Keep the monkey caged guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing it is what, 10ft long?  Maybe 12?  Me and my buddy fish out of a 2 man plastic pontoon boat that is only 8 ft long, so that wouldn't be too bad I don't think.  Worth the money?  Depends on how much small lake/pond/river fishing you do I guess.

I don't know, but you can bet It'll be a bundle.  ;)

I'm gonna guess at least $15,000

After doing the math, I agree with KU Bassmaster.

$2,400 9.9hp outboard

$2,000 10 foot Welded Jon

$1,000 trolling motor

$1,000 fish finder

$1,600 pedestal, decking, carpet, livewell, graphics, etc...

$7,000 Megabass Nameplate

$15,000 Total

But it's not a welded john,...it's a carbon fiber shell......add 2k.  Oops,...megabass,...6k.

Now look what you did Raul.  I havn't handled glass in awhile but now I have a crazy idea that there's a niche for fully fabbed fiberglass jon boats.  Hmmmmm  Winter project?  Test boat for the '07 season/  Wheels are grindin'.

Glass ? no sir ! hone them skills and go carbon fiber, after you have gone through you could have purchased a 22 footer instead.

But like you say a fully rigged glass 10-12 jonboat like that one could be a good business idea. What 's the problem with jonboats ? they are alaways just an aluminum bath tub with nothing on them, now, not all of us have woodworking skills and most hulls are hillbilly intended, they offer the bare minimum and you have to figure out the rest, most uf us rednecks and hillbillies lack completely of imagination but a skillfull and imaginative guy like you think ahead......Low_Budget Jonboats, that sounds nice !  ;)

If it is really carbon fiber I say at least $10,000 (US) just for the hull. Just a wild guess.
