Looking to buy a bass boat this spring. Gotta be a tin boat cause I only have a Tacoma to pull it. Not many dealers here in Co but have looked at Ranger and Lowe boats from Crowley Marine in Denver.
Anybody have any input they?d like to share?

Yeah, buy used. Most boats aren't used enough to justify new and you will save thousands letting someone else upgrade it.
Now is a good time to shop the used market.
If you are willing to drive,look in the midwest.
The two happiest days in a bot owner’s life :
1.) The day he buys it.
2.) The day he sells it.
Yep. At least I’ll have two great day though.

I've thought about getting a boat lately and f I did based on the type of water you see in Colorado I would go with something like this.

Buy used and save a ton of money.

As mentioned buy used, let somebody’s day else take the depreciation hit.
Damn ! That stroke affected more of my cognitive functions than I though though thought.
You’re not the first to tell me that. When the wind kicks up at 11 Mile or Spinney it gets pretty choppy.

Lots of south end Powel boats in the area. To save sales tax, for which I basically paid none because only the trailer is titled in CO, I paid the dealer $400 to meet me at the AZ NM border and signed it over there.
