[QUOTE="5575, post: 294710, member: 410"] Sparkly boats are big and safe and dependable. But for the river I would love an older river boat for sure, but the majority of my time is spent on mid Sak. Just sold my 12 year old sparkly for a newer 6 yr old model. Would I buy a brand new one? Not a chance in hell, but if you know what your doing when shopping for a used one you can even make money on the things pretty easy after using them a couple years. Case in point, buddy was looking for something in that 30K range a couple weeks ago. I found him a big sparkly 2190 skeeter, 300 Yamaha "110 hours" with digital controls "3500 extra" atlas jackplate 12" and 9" graphs and an ulterra for 39K the guy had the purchase sticker laminated in the glove box total was $92,500..uffda talk about taking it in the shorts! Then there are boats like the 2006-07 skeeter wx1880 "great all around boat", those boats sold brand new for $26,999 they sell all the time right now on walleye central for 27k its nuts! But yea I see the guys with the new diesel platinum Denali High Country King Ranch Longhorn trucks "because God forbid you were seen in a regular leather seat model", giant 5th wheel with 5 slide outs and a new 21 ft 350-400hp sparkly behind it and think 70k+70K+100K, man can't I wait till those are a couple years old..:;:thumbsup [/QUOTE]
