Boat show worth going?

[GYPSY400]

Dont go !!!!!!!!!!! it is a horrible place , my wife forced me to buy new bass boast on 2 ocassions

 

1st time

 

she hoped up on the bicycle seat of the purple skeeter and said "my purple rhinestone bikini will match" .......... 1 hour later I own it

 

second time

 

she layed on the rear casting deck and gave me the look ...... 1 and a half later I own it

 

 

so either dont go or dont bring your wife, she is the worst influence encouraging me to buy all the new boats and electronics, it is horrible every time we go to bass pro or a tackle shop she makes me buy on average $300 bucks worth of stuff

 

LOL.. I wish I could feel your pain!! My wife is the polar opposite!!

 

She's still upset about the bow mount trolling motor I put on my new Legend..

Her words: " what do you need a motor on the front for? You already have one on the back!!"

I couldn't help but laugh!

 

But to get back on track.. If your a serious buyer, I would go.. It's good to see products in person as sometimes Internet pictures don't do it justice. You can also jump into a Lund, then a crestliner, then a etc. etc. without driving all over town.. Take the saleman with a grain of salt.. They'll tell you what you want to hear

now just saying , usually with my buds I would say 'pics or it's made up' j/k

 

and btw, I think most guys here would kill to have a wife like yours...2 boats @ 2 shows ? dayum !

if my wife was at the show and saw I lusted for a boat that cost around + $20k she'd be laughing all the way to the exit

 

 

 

all my buddies say that my wife is great (and she is trust me) so I am pretty lucky I cannot complain

i also went on friday to the special preview night. alot of great boats to look at including some new models etc. i found it very helpful being able to check out all the outboard companies and speak with the reps to find out some answers to the questions i had. they were very helpful.

 

i ended up purchasing the new princecraft xpedition 170 SC. paired it up with a 115 merc 4 stroke and 9.9 pro kicker. cant wait for the spring now! hahah the guys at princecraft had some great deals and were very helpful.

 

i would say it is def worth the day/afternoon to look around.

Congrats on the new boat, sounds like a beaut.

 

My bud has had a 17' Princecraft with a 115 Evinrude for quite a few years now and he's really happy with it and has never had an issue with anything.

Congrats on your new boat. You must be thrilled. That is a very sharp looking unit.

 

Get the drill out and make sure your measurements are right!
