I have enjoyed this site as a lurker for quite a while and finally decided to jump on board. This forum is great, so many of the other forums out there have quite a bit of negativity when people make a post or pose a question and I see decent replies and people treating each other respectfully here on bigfishtackle. I'll do my best to contribute reports for when I get out. Thanks!!
So...onto my question. I am in the market for a new boat and was wondering what dealers are good and which to avoid. I don't have the biggest budget so I am looking at some 16' side consoles or tillers. I have called several of them and I'm not too impressed with Canyon Marine, they never called me back and blew me off. Allan Marsh did the same thing. JH Sales and Marine seemed decent as did Capitol Sports Sales. Is there anyone else I should consider between Boise to Idaho Falls and are my first impressions of the previously mentioned dealers correct or was I too hasty in my judgement? The boats I'm looking at are Lowe fm160, Lund Fury Side Console, Lund Rebel Tiller, Crestliner Discovery 1650 side console or tiller, Mirrocraft Laker 16' side console, or an Alumacraft V-16. I'm tired of fixing old motors(my wife is tired of me dumping money into old motors) and I just want something that will work when I actually get time to go fishing and have room for my kids. Thanks and Happy Trails.
