over on hwy 25. One thing you might want to do is as you're leaving Duncan and heading South on Old Fannin, look to your left about a 1/2 mile South of Duncan. There's a car dealership there and on occasion, they have boats for sale
Well, there's always BPS. Isn't there a dealer on the west side of 55 at Canton too? Seems I remember seeing some aluminum boats there...maybe sea ark or xpress. Can't remember, but he's basically a 4 wheeler store that also sells boats if I'm right.

Hey DK...there is a Stratos for sale over in the Classifieds..... http://www.crappie.com/crappie/swap-...0-ft-sale.html
Fish and Ski. Don't do it. Ask DD.

C&S is basically out of business, they have a few consignment boats and thats it
Thanks guys
If I hadn't have wanted something to go to the coast and fish insore, I'd still be using it. BTW, I'll take 4000 for it:D
Didn't know that Triton, haven't been by in a while obviously
I went by there a few weeks ago and that place was dang near a ghost town
Is today as well and what's on the lot looks like junk. I'm at bps now looking at cranks, can't find the new crappie bandit but did find some WM but don't have a chart to see how deep they run like I do for my bandits
I was in there picking up the other set of Rod holders for my cranks at lunch
Prob saw me I was there from bout 11 to 1 looking at boat stuff for dads boat and trying to add to my crank collection
You shoulda said something you gewb
don;t it. Anytime anyone goes to BP, they should let the board know. Either, Me, Triton or Maj is there, least one of us
AT LEAST ONE, usually more. Even Torch has been known to make an appearance
its' always a payin gig
Jesus it sounds like a handful of us are keeping BPS open in Pearl...As for CS on Lakeland closing, they acted like it was your pleasure to be in the store, so everyone showed Jerry it should have been HIS PLEASURE to have people in the store. It's simply a case of the chickens coming home to the roost...No matter where you go if you are buying new your gonna spend a fortune. Dunc is hi as are most of them. I think that guy MIKE? at lake harbor marine in flowood will work with you on price as much as he can. If you want to drive to Texas you can get a good deal...
Actually I have visited several dealers in FL and Alabama and now Duncan back home in MS and Duncan blew them all out the water on pricing. Matter of fact they were about 1500 cheaper and more comes with the boat
sounds like a deal in the makingQuote:

Well WB I would but Ive owned 2 used rigs and both of them turned into being trouble after about 8 months. If Im gonna spend my hard earned money on something its going to be new and its gonna be what I want from the start. However if ya find me a supper dupper deal on say a 2006-2010 Ranger with at least a 175 hp YAMAHA for say under
16K let me know.
I'm going with WB on this one Killer. The one I just got was at Duncan (thanks again Gene), they did me right & I got a great '06 boat with only 47 hrs on it.
I will have to go along with WB and Maj also DK.
G, you know we're too old for him to listen to.Quote:

I am 33 and I have owned 6 boats in the last 8 years, trying to find the one that is right for me. I have encountered a few problems but very few and pretty inexpensive. New boats are a bad investment and loose value the day you pull them off the lot. This is only my opinion though.. By the way, I have never lost money trading boats in search of the right one for me. I alway's wait on a deal and I'm not scared to pull the trigger when I find one. Buying a new one will usually have you locked in unless you have money to loose.
LOL well I will say this Im not toatally against a used boat, I have been looking but I prefer to know the owner and the history of it especially the way I got burned on my last one(which was a very new modle). Ive looked but havent found anything used that just stands out to me yet.
