I think it’s pretty badass.
I’ll say this! I’d have an easier time paying over 100 grand for a boat like this vs paying 80-90 grand for some [censored] that used to be 60-70 grand two years ago…and having to listen to some screw tard tell me how they have exactly the same boat for 30 grand less.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

All about CHOICES! I agree with what has been said about them being in a niche market like a lot of merchandise. You can spend $5k on a fly rod, $300 on a lure, $1000 on a reel, or $500k on a car. Heck, there are watches priced at thousands of dollars, but also priced at $20-$50, so we have lots of choices on everything we buy.
I'm the guy who likes nice and new stuff within my own personal set limits. I said years ago I wouldn't pay over $30k for a new truck, but I did in 2019. I will not spend more than $50k on a new boat. Can I afford it? Yes I can, but I refuse to spend that much on a boat. We all have choices, there is no right or wrong choice, just the one that you decide you want to choose. So there will be people who choose to spend $120k-$135k on a boat and that is their choice whether paying cash or financing...their choice. I'm just excited we have so many choices in this great country.

I love the forethought on giving access to all of the pain in the tail stuff that eventually breaks! Easy access to batteries and pumps and whatnot. I need to do a simple 20 minute oil swap on a power pole pump and am going to have to remove a filter housing and stand on my head to get at it. Probably going to take more than an hour simply because of access. I also like the thought put into the center hatch and tackle storage. Really cool looking boat!
See you on the lake and have a great day!

Every boat brand, except maybe Nitro, has a model or models that are north of $100K now. I think the Nitro Z-21XL is 95K+, and that's without some important upgrades; so Nitro isn't "cheap" by comparison. I was surprised by the new Triton 20-Footer model! Especially since my last visit to BPS Garland had only 2 Triton in stock from 2 model years ago and yet they had Rangers. I thought the agreement was Ranger kept Vabrlas and BPS got Triton. A Z21proXL is 73k comes with 2 -12” lowrances and a ghost. Only thing it may lack is poles, so that puts you right at 80k. https://www.nitro.com/bass/z21-xl-pro.html

Some of you two buck chucks would faint if you looked at the salt water market if you think bass boats are expensive.

Max HP rating of 250 is a deal breaker  ………well and the cost (for me).
