    The wife said YES!

    I have been beating my back for the last 2 years in my rt188 and after dinner last night, I popped the question...can I buy a new boat? and she said YES! Looking for a 19 or left over 18 zx200. I mainly fish rayburn and Central Tx lakes. I love getting in skinny water and tight spots but also need to be able to run a good distance in what ever the weather may be so figured the zx200 will be a good upgrade and best bang for the buck. I prefer to trade my RT in as I am tired of dealing with tire kickers and no call backs. What dealer gives the best deal?(I know, map pricing but I have heard there's some wiggle room) Also does Skeeter or any dealer give any sort of Veteran discounts like T and R brand gives? Excited to get into a Bug!

    I know you want the zx200 but take a look at the zx225 not much bigger will still handle backwaters. I fish south Louisiana so I know low and small water love my zx225 all the boat and speed I need.

    It sounds like you have a keeper! The ZX200 should be a nice upgrade for you.

    The zx225 is just a little out of my budget and after having a good amount of warranty work needed on my RT, I want new for sure.

    Call Cliff Brown at Texas Boat World. He’s a veteran and just made me a heck of a deal on a Zx250.

    You might be surprised. I got my 19 225 for 50k out the door. Most dealers advertise the 200 at that cost.

    Find a Demo boat and save thousands on a New boat. That's what I did.

    I was offered a trade in of $5000 at LMC. I got $10,300 at Texas Boat World. Price for the boat was the same so out the door was $5300 cheaper at Texas Boat World. Cliff is an awesome guy and Harker Heights is a lot closer to Georgetown than Houston is.

    I just bought a ZX250 on April 4th from Pete Jorgensen’s Marine in Beaumont. Have to say it was the easiest boat purchase I’ve ever made and everyone there was super nice. I ended up doing an in and out on my trade but no other dealership came close to their final price including Fun N Sun.

    I am already in love with the boat! Now it just needs to stop flooding so I can get on the water!
