    Boats always end up costing me a new car, SUV or house. I have tried the its on sale line that she uses so frequently but just does not work. I will be looking at new rigs this weekend at the sports show. So I sure hope she is ready to upgrade the Jeep Grand Cherokee she got a year and a half ago when I got the last Ranger

    I have tried the "persistent suggestion" complete with pictures off Craigslist of excellent buys, attempted to persuade her it was a great idea for her (epic fail, btw), even attempted the old, "but I think I have earned this over the years" approach...flopped like a gilled catfish!

    Now...here is what worked like a charm...both of my girls started in on me about my current boat being way too small for the g kids. BAM! Done deal. Then my son in law bought my old Stratus fish and ski! That's called a WIN/WIN!!!!

    For the record, there were many other "ploys" for this and other purchases over the years, but I will never admit to all of them! And IF Keeferfish or Joedog or JackB rat me out to my awesome lovely wife, I will spike their lures with gasoline!!!!!!! JK...I tried that it definitely does NOT work for catching fish....

    Good Luck!
    I believe in catch and release.....right into the grease!!!!!

    Second is how would you break it to your significant other you want to buy a new boat?? I love my alumacraft but going to get my 3rd grandchild and I need a bigger boat, ( right) lol! So let's hear you best pitch!!
    Been eyeing a Garmin echoMAP 73SV. DownVu, SideVu, LakeVu HD maps, internal GPS. Cabela's has them in their latest "sale" catalog for $549.99 until 1-30-16. Catalog order only.
    I'll smoke just about anything (in my smoker)
    The fishing is always great. The catching varies.

    The 619 and the1880 are both great boats ! I don't think You and your wife would be disappointed with either .
    Side note; We recently purchased a 1760 (1880 little brother) Never Ever buy a boat in Wisconsin and bring it to Missouri,its a paperwork nightmare!
    Good luck in you're efforts and your search
