It is a fair comparison when there are documented people getting that 10 to 20K off their Nitro boats, just not at BPS.

As far as the Kia comment, you may be still just driving a kia, but you will be driving a car that has the BEST warrantee in the business.

You can't take why ONE boat manufacturer has done and compare it to the entre automobile market...

The big issue that this raises with me and one of the many reasons I will avoid new boats.......accessories. Why are the add-ons at retail? That's just seems to me like extra profit margin at the dealer. You end up with 10 g's worth of add ons at full price.

If I ever did go the new boat route, it would be bare bones and I'd shop around to get the best deals on the graphs, power poles, hot foot, trolling motor etc.... Either that or they would be knocking a heck of a lot of that out the door price cause I know they aren't paying anywhere near retail for those add ons.

OK then, a person does not go and pay sticker for a Ford F150 just like they dont pay sticker for a Nitro Z9. If you haggle you can get 10 to 15K knocked off.

BTW this thread is only about ONE boat Manufacturer.

That's exactly the way I'm doing it Joey, and it's the only way to do it IMO!

Not according to the title.

I'm not buying the story about a completely rigged out Z9 being 42,000. They are 40k with standard options. One rigged out like the guy in this thread said is 50k.

Man how long can Y'all drag this out

Your right my 2006 ranger 519vx would backwash over the back deck every time you stop, I had 3 hubs burn up and fall off, I had the axel break off the trailer, I have big cracks where the cooler/step is mounted, my seats ripped, the screws that are under the bumper guard kept backing out finally twisting and breaking off, and had a fish die in the live well because it got stuck in the corner, what boat builder makes that kind of mistake. So your right nitros in a better class I've got a 2 year old Z8 with over 300 hours on the motor with no problems anywhere close to my ranger.

Oh yeah and I had air pockets near the motor bolt holes and warranty had to repair it. Boy if that's quality I don't want it. Plus their contingency sucks.

My nitro will outrun any ranger and I'll fish off a front deck larger than any rangers waiting on them.

Makes me glad I own a Bullet, I don't have to argue about all this nonsense. LOL! I think we can all agree that all bass boats are overpriced, along with accessories, lures, gas, and just about everything else involved in bass fishing nowadays.

The best way to save money and fish out of a new boat, whatever brand that may be, is to find a partner that is willing to buy one and fish with them.

blah blah blah ain't y'all drug this [censored] on long enough?

We are only on page 5 I am sure we can get 8 or 9 pages out of this before they lock it down
