Where to Start Back (Boat Question)

[claytonsdad]

I picked up a 8 yr old tracker recently. After the 1200 dollar trolling motor and the 2300 im fixing to spend on electronics, im still less than half of the price of a new base model of the same size.

That brings up another question. With all the advances in electronics, would a guy be better off to spend a little less on the boat and more on the trolling motor and electronics? I've been thinking about that recently.

My opinion says ... the boat gets you from point A to Point B, so as long as it's safe & comfy for the waters you fish, then what it costs is secondary. The TM & electronics are what puts & keeps you on the fish. So, if you can swing it, then I think you're headed in the right direction.

My old boat cost $350 but has over $6000 worth of motor and electronics on her. Invest in accessories. If it floats safely and is comfortable, it is a boat just like any other, regardless of cost! And BTW, pretty boats don't catch more fish!!
