Good to hear, sounds like you did the research and it checks all the right boxes. Enjoy it!

Will you be moving electronics over from your other boat? Or starting from clean slate?

The $500 gift card will buy a decent amount of accessories. The 10% VIP discount doesn’t apply to electronics. . I haven’t seen how to use for online orders, either.

That boat is gorgeous. You're going to love the boat and what it will do for your fishing program, I'm sure. I'd love to go for a ride in that craft. Enjoy!

Clean slate....

The custom console I made for my Alumacraft is a nice selling feature, along with the new 9"Elite Ti2, so I will leave it be.

So...I picked up a new Lowrance HDS LIVE 9 on sale.....no one could match their price!
Yes, I believe the 10% VIP is in store only.

You were meticulous with the work you did. It should sell quick.

Personally, it's such a hard decision for me.....to buy or not to buy.
I should be happy with what I currently have......it's plenty for my local lakes. And I really enjoy upgrading and modding it. Some how I think that the wider beam, side console, and added storage is a necessity.

Those things are key for me too. At 66 with a few balance issues, I find 25" gunnels, stability, and protection for both me and my passenger insure a good day. My dual console deep V is a great all around boat that squarely leans towards fishing

An awfull lot depends on quality control for that day. If you look closely, that is not uncommon on riveted boats and can happen on welded as well. Saw it on most vrands even Lunds !! Not common but out there if you look. Whilevit may not look all neat and tidy, there should be no structure issues. One reason people buy glass boats are the cool, smooth, flowing lines and fancy colors availiable. I personally stay away from glass boats, to many bad experiences over the years. I am definetly an aluminum boat guy and have owned more than I have fingers and toes, but I am a practical boat used, not interested in pretty. Todays prices are rediculous, and I wont pay them, way overpriced for what you get. In every vehicle there are luxery and economy models, boats are no different. This is why they make Chevrolets and Caddillacs, no difference in the mechanics of either, just fit, finnish and appearance, your pocket book makes the choice..

Quality Control. I bought a "new to me" Chevy Tahoe in May 2024. It was what I was hunting for: a AWD SUV with a gas V8. I refused to anything from the Covid years or later. My Tahoe is a 2016 with 81K on the clock. Drives very well for its age and I feel the quality is far better than almost ANYTHING that is currently being made.
