I keep tossing around the idea of a brand new boat but with a new boat comes a payment, which I don't mind but I want a peace of mind as well. I get tired of fixing little piddly stuff as years go by and I only put about 10 hours a year if I am lucky on an engine but fish approximately 40 days a year on average. I like nice stuff, I also like to keep my stuff nice, garage kept, heated/AC you name it, so a long warranty is important to me all the way around, I also want a company that will be around for a long time or has been around a long time. This is the start of my process and the beginning of many discussions and questions .
