This is one of the most expensive purchases any of us make relative to fishing. From an inflatable kayak to 24 foot fiberglass bass boat with a 250 horsepower motor and everything in between. There are plenty of dealers out there who are dealing because of the slowdown in the economy. From generous trade-ins to incentivized financing, if you shop well you can find great deals.
If you are looking for a starter boat don’t overlook a good used model. These can be very affordable and get you started. It also is a way to find out what you like and don’t like, so when if someday when the time comes to purchase a new boat you will have a better idea as to what options are most important.
