looking for a 2009 cougar ftd or puma ftd for under 34K

i should also add that i am only interested in boats with mercs or yamahas. i look at phils site all the time but have not seen anything on there recently that i was interested in.

i am not so much worried about electronics. i can get the electronics i want after i buy a boat. the only reason i am in such as rush, as you can probably figure, is that the fishing season has started up and i am currently using a loaner boat from a friend. I have talked to the seller mentioned above and he isnt willing to budge on that price. one of my friends that fished the womens bassmaster tour has her 08 puma for sell for the same price so if i decide to go that route i will get hers, but i would prefer to get an 09 simply for warranty reasons. the only reason that i am looking for what i am in that price range is because i have seen it many times over, but at the time i hadnt sold my boat yet. my boat is now gone and i have the money to get another one but i think some ppl are so upside down in their loans on their boats that they are asking more than they should, plus the banks will currently only give you about 70-80% of the used boats loan value.

yeah and the people who posted their boats for sale last year for that price are still sitting on them. like i said the banks will at most only loan about 80% of a used boats value which would mean they would give 30,400 for a 38,000 boat. you can get the full loans through dealerships but the interests rates are ridiculously high. i sat on my boat for two years before it finally sold because i was innitially asking close to the nada value. i finally sold it to a guy for a good deal and was able to get a little more than what the dealership was willing to give me on trade. there are plenty of boats out there in my year and price range but they are not bass cats. i am not going to settle for anything less than a cat, but at the same time if i dont have a boat i cant fish and if i cant fish i might as well quit living.
