Dodgeman, you made the right decision. Figure out what works best for you and go get it. Dont be afraid to ask quesitons on this board. The frequently asked quesitons are a good source of information, too. You can also use the “search” tool and it will sort through the thousands of responses quickly. As you have already discovered there are a million considerations when buying a boat. Be honest with yourself when considering your needs. If you need to go 75 mph, BCB can make it happen; if you need to run 100 miles one way, BCB can put enough gas tanks to make it happen; if you need multiple HD 10 inch wide sidescan graphs on the front, back and console…guess what? BCB can do it. If you want a boat to take a child fishing…yep, they can do that too!!! Post pictures when you get your new boat
