    What would you rather win?

    Entry fee is $200 per team. Would you rather win a boat, or $20k? (assuming the boat is worth $20k) Usually 150-200 boats in the tournament.

    We won a boat in a team TX with an MSRP of 45,000. The dealer offered us 32,000. I tried for a month to sell it for more than that and didn't find a buyer. You want money if its your choice every time.

    Depends on the boat, if only a 20K boat than cash unless my partner needed the boat and wanted to buy my half from me.

    I would much prefer cash. It saves me the trouble of trying to sell the boat etc.

    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    I only want the boat if they are delivering my cash in it.

    Are you asking about Nichols or Skeeter? Skeeters first place went down to $15,000 last year. The boat won at Nichols is worth more than $20,000. I'm thinking they are in the $35,000 range.

    A disadvantage to winning the boat since they'll report the MSRP as your winnings, not the actual price you would pay for the boat. For example, a $20k boat you are going to be paying taxes on $30k because that's what is written on the 1099.

    Money. Boat sounds cool, but nobody really wants that. Just hassle. Cash is king.

    I know Skeeter went down last year, that was because they added 2 more tournaments and not necessarily comparing the 2, just asking in general.
