Spokane boat show
« on: January 25, 2016, 05:34:11 PM »
Starts this weekend, the 30th.  Anyone else going?  Im in the market for my first fishing boat for the family.  Anyone have any advice for boat shopping, what to look for, what to avoid, etc.?  Thanks

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

I'll be there.  No real advice on purchasing a boat I have been looking at new and used ones for about a year.  (I like to do my research). I think best money is spent on a well maintaned used one, but it depends on what your looking for.

Have fun

It all depends on what you are looking to spend. I just bought a boat from Dan at valley marine. It is my second boat from them first was a used, and just bought a new 2016 Lund. He is great to work with and has several options to choose from. Whether it's a Lund, crestliner, Lowe or pleasure boat. I would certainly talk to them and see what your opinion is. If you have questions PM me. I know that buying used is kinda scary unless you have it thoroughly inspected, and you can get a really nice new boat for not a whole lot more that has a warranty. Just saying. Good luck.

Well, got my boat.  Will get it in about 2 weeks.  Starweld 2000dc with 150 merc, ipilot 80lb thrust.  Has seating for 8 with a ski tower over the motor.  Dual axal trailer with electric and surge brakes.  Spent almost 7 hours there talking to all the sales people and doing Internet research at the same time.  I think I did alright.  Going to be some great times ahead for my family.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.
