[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 498761, member: 32953"] You got that right. Decades ago I thought bass boats were high priced. Even 5 to 10yrs ago. But look at some of the YouTube fabricators and price the parts they use. Every box is the better part of $400 to $700 bucks and framing kits from $300 to $700. A cheap Li batt is $300 to $1000 bucks and some ppl have 3 of them. Electric motors, lights, switch panels, live wells, multiple pumps and that's not even including the skin on the floor and lining the boxes. Heck, a 14 to 16 foot alum. boat could cost more than a brand new bass boat today. But , despite that, it seems ppl desire and will pay more for the old used boats for some reason I can't understand. I got my 14/54 Lone * Star w/outboard and trailer for $600. here in Louisiana. It's registered until March 24' and that's why I'm willing to spend some money on it. But everything seems inflated to me anyway b'c I'm old and use to a simpler life and time. [/QUOTE]
