Glad you found what you wanted for the price you wanted. I hope you and honey enjoy it and catch enough to fill it
Finally got the Pro Crappie 175 and at a reasonable price. Purchased the boat at Jaco's Marine in Lawrenceburg, Tn. As you can see, from the pics, the boat is still in it's shipping slip (cover). I get to drill the transom holes, mount the motor, mount all the electronics, everything is mine to do as I want it. That is the engine in the back of the truck, but it isn't the one going on this boat. Everybody needs a spare engine.... ha. The boat is a 2005 closeout, plus I am saving the "rigging" expense. Rigging will give me something to do next week. Oughta keep me busy for a few days. My Honey is really happy. She likes the built in minnow buckets and the fact that she don't have to sit so high in the back seat when fishing...... Will be posting pics as I put this thing together...

"Be Ye Fishers of Men" You catch them- He will clean them
WHat size motor is that and what did you gove for the package...I want to compare with what they charge down here.
$10.5K for the full Pro Crappie 175 package (not rigged). 40 hp Merc 4 stroke.Originally Posted by sac-a-lait
All 2005 stuff. They even thru in a on board charger, hats, etc. but couldn't get a good boat cover out of them...ha...Lot better than that 13K+ showroom price...
I negotiated most by phone before I went to see them.

Yes, I fish like a girl. If you tried a little harder, you could too!!
Good Luck with the new boat.I have been telling the better half that I want one of those for my retirement boat,she is finally warming up to the idea.So keep pointing out all the good features and catch a ton of fish so I can tell her it is all in the boat!
