Boat pricing between 10 and 20 thousand

[crappieseeker]

I am hoping to be in the market for a new boat within the next 6 months if all goes well. I want to get as much boat possible for the most reasonable price. I want to stay with a crappie style set up. I want 2 livewells 1 in the front and 1 in the back with baitbucket. I want dual seating up front. If you all do not mind sharing pics or information on your boat packages and prices you gave for them and pros and cons about them I would appreciate it. I want to stay in the 10 to 20 thousand range. i really like what I see in the war eagle predator 861, is there any way of getting this boat for less than 20 grand?

I would go look for a lowe 180 2004 to 2008. The stingers have what you want and you can save a lot on a nice used one.

Dongotto, I am really scared about buying a used boat. I had a new one and the powerhead went out on it and thankfully the warranty covered it. Almost 5 grand for the repair.

I bought a new Excel 1860 Crappie this spring. It's got everything you said you want except a baitwell. I got mine with a 60 four stroke, upgraded TM, and several other goodies for under 20K.

Cool thing about the Excel is that the 1860 has a .125 gauge hull. Solid, well built boat. So far I love mine. PM me for more details if you'd like.

look at the tracker dual species 175TF, may be what you're looking for, same boat as the PT175 but the front deck is lower which I like. Only thing I don't particulary like is it only comes in that funky blue color LOL. Is in your price range, comes ready to go to the lake, just stop and get your rods and some gas.

I have one of these in stock if you would like to see one. I also have several Xpress models that fit your criteria. Some of them just hit the market. PM or call me for the details.

I have a Lowe stinger and really like it. Their set up is the way that you want. The decks are wider than most in their class which gives you alot of stability. Due to the width they are prone to porpising so go for the longest you can afford which will help. Last time I looked there was a pretty good rebate on the new ones.

The nearest LOWE dealership is quite a distance from me, I do like the looks of them though. I also like the tracker boat that is set up with the options i like. Please keep the info coming.

I bought Billbobs used motor. The warranty had ran out on it and he bought a new motor. I mentally thank Billbob for the bargain each time I launch. It's been the best motor I've ever owned. Proper maintenance is the key.
