boats are selling SUPER cheap right now. It is a buyer’s market for sure(if you can afford to drive it).

Just because you buy a boat doesn’t mean you always have to take it out. If you’re in a nice dock community often you can piggy back off theirs or enjoy a nice party. It’s not always about being out on the water.

I bought a Donzi earlier this year, gas isn’t that bad, most of the time we just go out in the river and drift or sit behind the break wall. Boats are cheap right now.

Yup. Gas got more expensive so I guess we should all just sit inside and do nothing and complain about it for the rest of our lives…😕

As stated elsewhere in this thread, you will make up the extra money you will spend in fuel by the fact that boats can now be purchased for a good deal.

90% of boat people will agree with this statement. 10% own them and won’t admit it until its sold.  
The only model worth a damn they ever made was the Trophy fishing boat.

Yes I know that by now. I was just trying to use his negativity to make a point that the decreasing prices of used boats can counteract the increasing costs of fuel to a point.

:lol:

Half the threads on this forum are about people crying about oil/gas prices…

If you buy a boat and don’t sit around docked and actually go out it gets expensive fast…
