Hey Guys, is craigslist the best place to look for used rigs or does anyone have any other sites? Thanks
Last I looked there was a couple of nice rigs posted in the boats for sale room here...
you can also check...basscat.com (http://basscat.com) under their owners boats for sale room..
bassboatcentral.com (http://bassboatcentral.com) under their boats for sale...
Sherms marine, wonderland marine, freeway sports, D and R sports and other reputable bass boat dealers are a good place to look also...Don't go by their websites because usually those are pretty dated..Give them a call and let them know what you are looking for and what you want to spend.
People are getting in their wallets now a little bit so the dealers have quite a few trade ins they are anxious to unload..
I would be really careful buying boats from craigslist or ebay....alot of good boats are bought and sold on those sights but proceed with caution...Forum moderators have a tendency to watch what is being posted on their sites pretty closely and tend to recognize the "spam" posts and delete them pretty quickly
what kind of boat are you looking for?
what do you want? I seem to have a marina in my yard.

What am I looking for? Not sure really. This will be my first bass boat and I am SOOO confused at which is the best model and I'm still trying to understand what is a good deal and what is not. MFG, doesn't much matter, Ranger, Triton, Skeeter, or Stratos is pretty much what I'm down to. I want something 2007 or newer. 20ft seems like the max size I can still keep in a garage. I thought I wanted a 18.5ft with a 175hp but the more I look It seems I might as well go 19.5 to 20ft with a 225 or 250hp in my price range. I'm looking to spend around 23-26k.

look on BBC
The Tritons seem to fall into that price range for year and price
Just told my wife that it might be time to sell my Legend and order a new one. I could be talked into selling my LE-195 with a 175 Evinrude.
