[QUOTE="SLE, post: 243495, member: 3889"] Nice.... Moving back to the original topic............................at $40k I would look at the used market unless you insist on new. if you go new, your going to loose 2k right to the tax man which leaves you at about $38k. This isn't unfathomable to think you couldn't find a nice windshield boat at that price. probably looking at something along the lines of a tracker V18WT or maybe a relatively stripped down Lund 1775 Crossover without the max hp. If you go used you'll be able to find a really nice clean 1-4 year old decked out 18-19 footer that has everything and the kitchen sink. Just sold my Yar-Craft 186 in September for $40k on the nose. Still had a year of warranty on both motors and was fully loaded with 200 hp, kicker, 3 Lowrance HDSs, two custom props, jack-plate, tandem tough coat trailer, etc. It had all the goodies and a whopping 215 hours on the main.
