Canyon Bay Boats

[Marque]

Drove to Rockport and looked at the boat. Got to test drive it and was super impressed with the boat and the way it handled. Took it out in some chop and it was everything I expected the boat to be. However there were some problems. The pictures on the internet were at least 4 years old. The boats finish was faded. It also had a custom made aluminum fly fishing pedestal bolted on the front which was in none of the pictures that were on the internet. There was some cosmetic scrapes and scratches on the bottom of the boat and a few other things that you would not expect to see from a boat that had as little use as what the dealer was saying it had. I decided to pass although I loved the boat. If I am going to spend that much money on a used boat it better be in mint condition and this boat was not that. I'd rather spend 10k more on a new boat and have the factory warranty. So I am still looking.

I think the Epic is new on the market, but I've heard good things from a doc I know that owns one. Just a thought, I've never seen one.
