New Boat?

I haven't posted lately due to the fact I've been searching so hard for a new boat and all my computer time has gone towards that. Just like anything else, once I get consumed with a project it takes up all my time and other things get neglected. Luckily there isn't any yard work to do but my driveway is still not clean. Hopefully I'll have a new boat to show for my dedication soon.

I've found a few things interesting while searching such as the differences in prices for the same style and years of boats. Different options such as electronics and engine styles make a huge difference in cost as do the actual make of the boat. Rangers seem to be the priciest and the Nitros seem to be the most plentiful, around here anyway. But after a while, you can tell which boats are over priced and ones that are a bargain.

I have had trouble finding a boat that suites what I want locally and have broadened my horizons. I think I might have found the perfect boat but unfortunately it's located in Western Missouri. I am currently scrambling to get my finances in order and may be taking off on a road trip this weekend. I won't divulge much until it is sitting in my driveway but it's starting to look as if it will happen. Anyone ready to ride shotgun and see the country?

I will detail my journey if it happens, I should know by Thursday or Friday. Luckily with the cold weather most of the early season boat sales are getting off to a slow start which is probably why I've found such a good deal already. Hope it works out.
