I’ve never seen such a high demand for high end electronics and new boats. This stuff is expensive. I see $100k rigs daily with all the fixins. Are people just going into long term debt for an opportunity to catch more fish?

If they received a stimulus check, and have a 100K rig, they are in long-term debt.

All I can afford is the graphs, I don’t know how people afford the new boats.


And I’m not hating, I’m a bit envious that I’m too stupid too figure out how to make that much.

I went to Ivie 2 winters ago (last winter) and my mind was blown how many people had it then, and im sure that numbers probably doubled since then. I have heard on the podcasts that because of stimulus and being forced to stay home for months (and some continuing to work while doing that) americans have lots in savings. I believe it. With inflation though, you should start seeing a lot of stuff for sale from those getting out over there skis after getting an extra 0 at the end of the bank account balance from lockdowns and all that that included.


And....someone mentioned it in the "is he right?" thread. Is livescope really that expensive relative to what hardcore bass guys like most of us spend? I seen those walleye guys rigs too and theyd make some of you guys with fancy bass boats a little jealous! I think that a big reason livescope and electronics in general are so expensive is because the market will bear it. Is it a coincidence all the makers set ups are similarly priced? Did they all do the exact same R&D and have the same expense? Doubtful....especially considering some of the lawsuits between the electronics brands. But theyre all around the same price. Electronics are priced where they are because they know we will pay it. People spend $200 on a bait, $2500+ for a trolling motor, $500 for a combo.....is livescope really that expensive in the grand scheme of things?

I have a good paying job. I owe about $4000 on my house. Everything else is paid for, including my two kids’ college tuition.

It’s called planning and working. It ain’t easy.

Btw, I have a $40k boat. But my friends have more expensive 21 footers. Some of them paid as much as $43,000.

I haven’t seen too many $100k boats. And I fish 3-4 days a week.

Well I know no one who bass boat costsa 100000 but several who bought 55 or 60 and some have long term loans.
I think they must consider it renting lol. The repo man can have it when their done fishing.

I told myself I was gonna buy a really nice, newer repo….but they ain’t showing up on the bank lots nearly as fast as I thought they would.
….but it’s only $600 a month for forever. Hahahaha

Well when everyone gets their graphs, 360s, and live scopes that are on back order, we’ll all be fishing in the middle of the lake for leery fish since everyone seems to have limitless funding for all that stuff
