Got a new boat

I traded in my 2017 1542 for a 2022 rt178c. I was actually going to look at the tracker 175tf, but it would have taken about 12 weeks for it to arrive. The Ranger was already set up with a 24 volt trolling motor on the bow and had quite a few upgrades already installed. Only $2000.00 difference. I'm going to have the factory Lowrance moved to the bow and a Garmin installed at the console. Now here's the kicker...I can't pick it up til 3/7 becauce they need it to show at the spring boat show. It's the only 178c they had and can't get another one in time for the show. I've waited this long what's another few weeks. I just hope I got a good boat.:pray

Sounds like a beauty congratulations.

I sure looked hard at those when I bought. Those are really good looking and practical boats. That thing gonna arrive to you preslimed with drool. Congratulations.

They are nice, what deal did you get to allow them to keep and show it? I hope the salespersons won’t let folks climb all over it since it’s no longer theirs.

Congrats. Enjoy!

Congrats! I would ask for a boat show discount then after all those people put their grubby fingers on it![emoji1787]

Nice! Wish you great success with it!

I second that emotion. How about showing us some pictures for all of us land based anglers.

You are going to enjoy the RT178C. I have a 2018 RT178 with a 75 Mercury 4stroke. Really like it. We have an Ulterra TM and my wife lays tracks. All we have to do is start running a track and set back and enjoy the fishing. Only problem is if someone happens to get in front of you. Anyway it is a great boat.

I've got to learn how to post properly. Maybe I'll figure it out soon..I was trying to post a answer to a question asked and it didn't come out right. In response to what I got for letting them show it, the answer is nothing..should charge them rent for 1/2 a month. Pics will be coming when I can figure it out lol

Congrats Tear em up

congratulation

Sounds great!
I’ve got a 2019 and still very happy with it.

You’ll still have this before you could have gotten the tracker

x2 I agree

I was surprised that the rt178c already had a 24 volt trolling motor and upgraded tie downs along with a spare as well. The only thing I had done was to have a echomap ultra 9sv Garmin installed. There was a 12 week wait on getting the Tracker and they still couldn't promise it would be in by then. I was going to have a 24 volt trolling motor, and upgrade the fish finder along with getting a spare. I wish they would all come with a 24 volt trolling motor as standard'

[QUOTE=DockShootinJack;4227592]Certainly worth some compensation in your direction for use of your boat[ What's bad is most of the boats in stock are already sold. After the spring boat sale and everybody comes and picks up their boat they're not going to have anything left.

Sadly that is the way things are these days
