Problem is the insane prices used boats go for. You say a new aluminum bass rig is only worth $6500, but I've been lookin through the sale papers lately and the best I can do for that budget is a 1994 model. If I wanna go cheaper, it's usually an 80s model full of dry rot and bad wiring. At what point is it best to just get a new model that doesn't need work and comes with a warranty?
