    pulled the trigger on a new boat!

    well,after much searching and hand wringing..i found a new left over alumacraft xb200 with a yammies sho 150 and minnkota 80# troller.im super excited and cant wait to hit the water!..the deal,imo..was unbeatable.after seeing all the new glass rigs with 150 motors being sold for around 35-37k,i feel like 24,250 was a steal!they were asking 24995 for it but then the seller realized there was a 750 yamaha rebate available.im getting older and dont really fish anywhere huge,so 50 mph will be fine for me.ill post pics when i pick it up.

    That is a huge beast of a boat. Congrats. Hell of a deal too. Did it come from Stark's in Prairie du Chien by chance?

    I thought maybe this was the one. They've had this boat for quite a while. I actually talked to them on the phone about it back in 2018. Damn, you got a good deal. Congrats again.

    Great deal!
    I’ve owned 2 new Alumacraft boats, and they make a great product!

    Not sure why it shouldn't be. I have a 80lb MK on my Polarkraft, and it's fine!

    Very nice, congratulations and I would certainly think the 80# TM is enough, it is on my rig...

    Smoking deal with a 150HP, Trolling motor is more than enough
