If guys were catching bass and doing all the things they were doing back in the 70's without all the toys we have today, what is the point??? Do we tend to over complicate fishing to be the cool kid on the block with biggest and baddest toys??? 3-12" units(1 bow 2 console) mounted on this boats along with power poles, etc.... 13 Ranger 520C 13 250 Merc Pro XS Price 75,000 Fish Tackle & Marine My Youtube Fishing Channel Elite Bass Club

I don't want to waste my one day of the week fishing casting to dead water. I actually run two at the console and two at the bow although none of mine are 12". 2018 Skeeter ZX250 2018 Yamaha 250 SHO

Not a lot of differences to justify upgrading for me. I figure I will just upgrade some stuff on my boat here and there instead. Detailed it up today and forgot just how damn nice it really is. www.megabassusa.com

Enjoy the hell out of it while you have it and hopefully if iyts taken care of its just one more for me to choose from when I get the itch for a newer one someday. hard work is supposed to pay off so I applaud those that put themselves in a position to be successful financially. Ain't no hate in my blood and I don't make a habit out of telling others how to spend their money..
