[QUOTE="bird_dog0347, post: 17025973, member: 154353"] For the boat in that ad, a **** ton... you WILL have stuff break, salt water (assuming here) will be a problem maintenance wise and is hard on components. If/when you ding a prop you're looking at thousands to repair. To put it into a perspective I can speak on, I have a 2021 Nautique G23 Paragon surf boat. Our second weekend out on it my cousin was driving (we can't surf and drive at the same time so we co-own it) and the lake was 3' low, hit some rocks and banged up the prop (or so we thought). I've had an inboard boat since 2007 and I know the lake, but this was just a strange thing. Anyway, after we got it limped back on the trailer we found the prop was in bad shape but repairable (about a $500 service after you pull it off the boat), but the prop shaft, strut, rudder were bent and the hull area around it was suspect. They ended up having the pull the engine out, reinforce the fiberglass area, and repair/replace those parts. It was about a $10k insurance bill for our second weekend on this boat (MSRP was about the same as the one in the link you posted). This shit gets expensive... that said, I don't regret it, our family spends a TON of time out on the lake enjoying it every year so to me it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
