Is this a good deal?

[Doc & Nash]

Local retailer is selling a 1542 Grizzly boat with an Avery blind with wind skirt,and two seats 2000 model never titled for $1700.00. Is this something I should jump on or should I keep looking??

Sounds like a good deal to me. Go out to the Bass Pro shops site and check the price on the boat. Add about 800.00 for the blind (installed price) and you'll land well north of 1700.00. The boats look solid to me. If you don't like it, I am sure you can roll it and recover your costs pretty quick. If the trailer is included...it sounds like a steal.

SC, THis is at BPS and It is one that they have had for over a year, The retail on the boat is 1499.00 and that does not include the trailer. I tried to buy the blind only and he wanted 750.00.

Sounds like a good deal to me, especially if the 1700 does include the trailer. Is this at the nashville BPS?

Can anyone here see a few linear inches of rattle snake and know that it's a rattle snake?

I always liked red and black on the football field, just looks so wicked.

Then along comes green and gold and gives them a good run, yeah thats always nice.

I can hunt ducks but I don't need any extra disadvantages.

The only flaw in natural cammo is the necessity of duplication to cover all the space, which leads to an unmistakable uniformity that you can see from 20 feet away.

cammo in unison doesnt look like cammo, it looks like an ARMY.

Lacuna, the 60's sure were good to you, weren't they!

Man, you just bought a new boat. Go ahead and get a new motor for it. They are not as expensive as you might think. Not too mention, it will help your re-sale value later on. Hers's what you do:

Go get a copy of the Louisiana Sportsman magazine. Thumb through all of the boat dealer adds. Many of the dealers offer non-current, new engines under full factory warranty. You should be able to save a few hundred $ below the cost of a new motor from that dealer. Not to mention, it ought to be cheaper that most boat dealers in MS.

Or go get a copy of MS Game & Fish. Look through the back for an add for a Mercury dealer. I think the name is Tri-Lakes Marine. You can mail order a brand new engine for dirt cheap. Not to mention, he won't charge you any sales tax. There are a couple of dealer who used to advertise like this in that particular magazine.

I did this a couple of years ago and have been very satisfied with my purchase.
