[QUOTE="Red1Delta, post: 245584, member: 5773"] I bought new back in 2016 at the boat show. The reason I did was I had to finance it and wanted the piece of mind of knowing exactly what I was getting as there was no previous owner. Lot of the boats in my price range didn’t have the right size trolling motor to handle a lighter boat in the wind or good electronics. I was able to upgrade the trolling motor and add some really nice electronics into my financing which is something you should do if you buy new! I found it really convient to have them set my boat up with a more powerful trolling motor and the latest electronics so it was ready to go when the ice was off. I bought aluminum 18’. It doesn’t take on waves as well as a glass boat obviously and it is difficult at times with wind. I would find myself being more limited to fishing with a 16 foot verusus 18 foot aluminum. Long story short I agree with 5575 and would pursue at least an 18 footer with upgraded trolling motor to handle the wind! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
