As much as I'd love to get one that big, I don't think the lakes around here could handle that much boat. Heck, I probably couldn't even turn around on the one I would be on most.

If there is any way that you can afford it, buy new. Bass Pro Shops has got some awesome deals on left over new 08s, and the 2010s are now starting to come out.
I bought mine from there in 07 and it was a left over 06. They cut 6,500 off just to get it gone.

No way I can afford a new one let alone slightly used. I'm looking for a WELL used for cheap to get me by for a year or two.

I looked at the $200 on at 8:30 last night and someone had already bought it by 8:00 this morning when I was taking a buddy by for his opinion. I think the guy has it on craigslist now as a part out.
