    Without his electronics how much would his Elite series boat be worth used but in good shape?

    Skylar sold his 2017 rig last year loaded with everything for high 40s if my memory serves me correct. Bill will prolly ask low 50s if I had to guess.

    Do they charge a premium for being a pro's boat or are they cheaper? Seems like they run them pretty hard.

    Has to have a lot of hours on the motor, I'd think 50% depreciation from list price would be reasonable but maybe that is too steep a discount.

    Is he selling this years boat without electronics? Most pro boats I see for sale are decked out as they were for the season. Most go back to the factory for "reconditioning" whatever that means. A guy that fishes alot of the same tourny's I do buys a pro's old boat every couple years and has gotten good deals. He turns them over pretty quick though, long term I have no idea how they have held up.

    I am sure the pro's are just like your buddies, some take impeccable care of their equipment, some ride 'em hard and put 'em up wet all the time. BUYER BEWARE

    I marshalled with Skylar in Lacrosse this summer. I was impressed with his rig but we did make 2 attempts to power over a beaver dam. Btw, he's a super guy
