    Anyone near Austin?????

    Fellas.....I could use a set of eyes if someone has any extra time to take a looksy at a boat for me? I'm up here in Wisconsin and just can't/won't pull the trigger on the boat without someone other then the salesmen telling me it's a "great" boat!! I can't even imagine buying a boat sight unseen then finding out it's cylinder down or has low compression when I try to run it the first time. Boat is at a place named Bankers.....Any good or bad things to say about this dealership??

    Thanks Boys...

    Re: Anyone near Austin????? (Grampa)

    I'm sorry, my mistake fellas. The place is called Bancers Marine, 10814 Hwy 620 North. Don't laugh at me either because it is a fish and ski. 7,9 and 14 year old still in the nest. I'm thinking 6 to 8 more years of a fish and ski for me. I would like to get into a 20ft class boat and get out of my 18 footer.

    Thanks again guys.....

    </td></tr></table>Nothing wrong with catering to the kiddos.. Between fishing, skiing, tubing and sight seeing a F/S is exactly what you need. I had a many of great outings in a F/S. Truth be known I probably caught just as many fish also. Me and the wife would flat wear the crappie and channel cat out. Hope you find a good one.

    Anything that get's you off the bank is good, period... Ain't nothing with a F/S at all, unless you wanna move around the boat a lot. Being able to pull rope AND fish when you can is kinda the best of both worlds without 2 boats. Remember B.O.A.T. = Break Out Another Thousand...

    I'd go look at it for you but if you're looking at the Coral and it's a nice rig you wouldn't get it because I'd pull it home.....so I better not offer!

    That's the one Pop........... 1100 miles from my house, can't believe I'm even thinking about a boat so far from home. But it is the 202 that I really want.

    Re: Anyone near Austin????? (Deuces')

    I have no right to state an opinion. I know nothing about it. My guess is it's not the one. They've had it for a while and the pics look a little rough to me. I live two hours away and like Corals but I haven't bothered to go look.

    There's supposed to be a slick red and white one at Jimmy Houstons in OK.
    ......don't know anything about it either.

    Don't let me shy you away. I don't know what I'm talking about on that rig!!!!

    I do have a buddy who has one and they are a slick hull with a slick layout.
    The right one would be a prize! You're on a good quest.

    I've been trying to get info on the Jimmy Houston boat for weeks?? There's other 202s out there right now, I just can't talk myself into spending 16 grand on a 12 year old boat/motor. I dropped the ball last March. Had a beautiful white and black one less then an hour from me and didn't buy it. It was a beauty too!!! It went for $12,100
