Help me out guys ......
Hey Guys , Im about to retire and have decided to bite the bullet and buy me a new boat. Had many boats in my lifetime but never a brand new one. Wanting a center console , white, aluminum, no more than 115 h.p. (four stroke buy the way), will rig myself with electronics and troll motor (not a factor) , 18 to 20 ft. If you were to be in my shape , what boat and where would you buy it ? Help me out here and im saying i appreciate all your input . By the way, i also fish freshwater some if that make any diffrence. (crappie and bass) . Thanks again. TJ

Great looking boat for sure ! I looked at Rangers first. Only problem i came across is the hull thickness. Im pretty sure Ranger tops out at .100.
Im pretty well set on .125. |

Definitely look into excel baypro. I own a 220 baypro. LOVE IT!!! Let me know if you have any questions. |
Definitely get .125", express has a 21' available with .125 that tend to be east to find cheap and slightly used.

yea, thanks guys im gonna keep looking and thanks for the suggestions. im sold on .125 hull thickness. went and talked to a dealership today about the G3 Bay20 DLX . Very nice looking boat but with a 150 yammie 4 were looking at 32.5k without troll motor or electronics. Like i said , never bought a brand new boat and starting to think i never will ! lol . i know that 3-4k for troll motor and electronics is the norm nowdays.
If Anyone knows of a 19 to 23 ft. bay with .125 hull im definately in the market. I also looked at some older threads that were bashing aluminum bay boats ? Can some of you give some serious advice on this ? Im just thinking the corrosion resinstince and light weight of them for us guys that trailer alot could benifit ? |

The excel we mentioned is .125 gauge. |
was just looking at the Excel Bay 203 video with Bill Atkinson, very nice looking boat . Looking for a local dealer now.
BTW im so pizzed at alot of websites that show boats (boat trader for one) that accepts their ads without a price ? dang, if you want to sell a boat , NAME YOUR PRICE ??? how hard is that ? ive seen so many i may be intrested in but when i see no price i instantly click to something else . heck with em .............. |
Yeah I hate them not putting prices too!
