This is probably a little off subject but I cant help adding a little friendly advice. Which is: It is great to be the original owner of a boat, car, house, etc BUT if you were willing to consider a slightly used model you can usually save big dollars and get several additional perks (better electronics, boat cover, battery chargers, etc) without the higher original retail cost. In addition, depending on what state you live in you might be able to eliminate all sales tax (possibly a savings of $1500 or more), and you might even be able to get a larger rig than you were considering. I know from scanning the used bass cat for sale area there are lots of nice rigs out there with low hours on the motors and plenty of warranty left as well. Of course every bass cat in the last ten years is covered by a lifetime hull warranty, so that is not an issue.Anyway, the father in me just wanted to make sure you had considered all options prior to signing on the dotted line. I know I was able to find a good used rig last year that had less than 10 hours on the motor and would have been considered a “new” rig except for the paperwork. And while it had one blemish on the rub rails when I bought it, it still makes getting additional scratches and dings less devastating since I saved a great deal off the retail price of a completely new rig.Just my two cents worth!
