Isn't THAT the truth!

OTOH, they were asking DARNED NEAR what the original fellow paid for mine, when it was 5 years old back in January. Of course I didn't pay that, but I reckon it was within 20% or less of what the original price was.

I seriously doubt any bass boat is going to bring any better ROI overall. Funny though... just using the term "ROI" in this sense is comical when you think about it.

Now had I outfitted a new Z21 with the same options (like I put new HDS9 Gen 3's with 3DSS and TS on it immediately) then the new one would have run TWICE (and then some) of what I paid! Options, dealer prep, tax and all fees it'd easily be mid~high 60's.

Not about to pay twice as much for one extra axle of brakes and nicer seats.


As for now, she's been weathering Hurricane Irma sitting in Lake Harwell since Sunday afternoon. Had the good sense to turn it around in the boat dock to face the waves late Sunday night. Couldn't get it out because of the storm, AND the lake being down 7½ feet. Trees down everywhere, dock next door has washed away. The ol' Nitro is sitting tight and pretty down there. Surely to GOD this thing will move out tomorrow and we can FINALLY get in some fishing on this trip.
