That Nitro 290 sport at BPS is a real real good looking boat. Fiberglass 19.5' 225 merc proXS. 15hp kicker. cool jump seats in back. So far it might be my favourite fishing/family boat. Very smart looking indeed.

Only problem for me is that I come up $60,000 short :o

Nitro has been plagued by poor customer service and very bad re-sale values in the states due to their build. Bad build = lots of calls and warranty work = bad customer service due to calls and warranty work not being handled the way people expect.

 

There are better choices out there.

 

Ranger

Stratos

Triton

 

Take your pick.

My bud who I do the odd tournament with has a Nitro with a 225 Optimax on it and for the last two years has had a de-lamination problem with his hull on five (5) count em five, separate occasions. He is now looking at taking them to court to do the repair properly.

Apparently they have been re-glassing without actually replacing the stringer (shortcut fix) and the fix has been half assed.

He also had them repair a lot of spider cracks all over the boat after two years of service.

If I were looking to purchase something with a price tag that high I would be looking at Ranger or Princecraft, IMHO.

My first real boat will need to be a Triton...nothing huge maybe a 16-18' boat with something in the one hundred's for HP

 

As for that 290 by nirto, would love to get it for free but would never buy it myself.

You might want to save some of that $20G to put a motor on that baby. Looks like $40G just buys the boat.

this text from another ad, seems to indicate the motor is included, I thought it a lot of boat for the money for a Great Lakes angler
