There are more boats for sale in the USA than you can shake a stick at. There are plenty on TFF alone. Don't jump at the first one. Take your time and look online for boat sales websites. Some of these include Bass Boat Central.com (where I found mine), Boats.com, Boattrader.com. etc.


Be safe,

Andrew...you need to join a bass club or fish some a weekend series or BFL and spend some time in different boats. They are not all made the same and they certainly don't all ride the same. Agree with the others on here, this is not a place to make a rushed decesion

I have been looking for 2 years now just cant seem to find what fits my wants for an affordable price but they are out there. I did find one but a new addition to the family put it on hold for now. Take your time you will find something a rushed decision could be full of regrets.

I would stay away from aluminum mod v boats. If you want an aluminum boat I would get a deep v.

What type if fishing are you wanting to do?

In fact I don't think I would want any modified v boat that is 17.5' long. If budget/space is a constraint....I would get something with a deep v for smoother ride.

I had a 15 foot Flare (glass boat) in Florida that had a Cathedral hull. It worked fantastically, I would get another one like that in a heartbeat.

Mainly bass and crappie, but i would like to start striper fishing but i dont know if it is worth getting a center console, or something like that, just to go to texoma a couple times a year.

I would stay with a bass boat. I can do everything from mine, including taking the kids skiing and tubing. Where are you located? As already stated, lots of good boats in TFF classiffieds

Agree with others. Keep looking. I don't have a problem with Nitro at all, but a 6-year old, 17' Nitro with a 90 on it should be around $11k-$12k.
