Wonder what this will do to the "Legends of Lake Fork" tourney????? That's always been a good one to win in. 4 boats on the line was pretty stout! It is now called the legends of tracker marine on Lake Fork.
I hate photobucket.

Rockwall Marine sold a Bass Cat earlier this year for $ 92 and change. There are a group of folks who have $$$$$$, who don't care about price and what's worse have never owned a bass boat. First stop, Lake Fork. Or finance for decades.......

I'm not normally the type to dig into rumors, but I heard from a guy that works at a Tracker dealership last night. Bass Pro may have backed out of the Cabela's merger. Can't find out anything about it online though.

buys the competition, then he can set the price. Cant imagine it being much worse than this.... No big deal. Only 360 easy payments of $480 with $350 of that going to interest each month.

Only with cash would I buy that boat and they'd have to take that weird looking Evinrude off the back and mount a 250 SHO in it's place and I'd need a another 12" on the bow. Gotta get rid of those black wheels too, I need chrome. Think I'll wait for another recession before I get too interested though.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed. Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

To the Nitro basher. Have you ever thought about what boat prices would be without Nitro?

Randy Qualls is a stand up guy. My belief is that he made sure his key people were well taken care of before selling the company.
I also got my Legend from Billy Sartin and I also hope Billy keeps the Legend line.

Sounds like the price of used Nitro's may go up. Parts being available for years to come.
TAKE A PHOTO HOME NOT THE FISH. CATCH AND RELEASE Set the hook first and ask questions later.

Nothing will change except to owner. People talk about quality going down, or resale going down are incorrect. Happens all the time with many companies.

Let me clarify that I have nothing against Nitro. They seem like great boats.My comment was in relation to people thinking that his plan was to eliminate a competitor and I happen to like the Legends more than the Nitros so if I were him and were going to keep one or the other I would keep Legend. I think that he could sale a buuuuuuunch of them with his national marketing power and locations across the country.
BTW- I love my Skeeter.

That's right. If you have to buy a boat on payments You can't afford it. You don't own a boat, you own a payment booklet. That boat can be taken away from you at any time. You can't even sell the new ones and make your money back anymore. I always figured if i could make the payments, I could save the money up. I just have to wait a year or two to drive it instead of getting it McDonalds style.
