I am looking for a new boat as well.  But first my wife told me that I had to sell mine.  I have a Lund 2025 Pro V with a 225 EFI and a 9.9 kicker both are Merc's.  New panther lift on the 9.9 and new lower unit on the 225.  New steering last spring cables and hydro kit.  New Humminbird side imaging graph with GPS and maps, LCX19 with GPS, new Mororguide Pinpoint bow mount trolling motor with new Pinpoint graph up front.  New Vantage trolling motor on the back.  All new live wells and bilage pumps.  New batteries last spring with on board 3 bank charger.  Wave whacker splash guards, new tires on bunk Eagle tandum axle trailer with brakes.  4 seats all in good condition.  I did not like the shine on the factory paint so I had a top of the line new paint job put on er a few years back.  In all the boat is in very good condition for a 98 and always stored inside.  It has been a great boat and still is but I want to go back to a tiller stearing.  The EFI has been a rock solid motor when the opties are in the shop I am out fishing.

05 Alumacraft Navigator, 115 Merc Optimax....... wait,.......nevermind, I need it for the flood in April........my bad.

yeah, you might want to hang on to it josh. never know whats going to happen around here. is it just me, or does it seem like the snow levels are actually lower since the little rainstorm we got? maybe that will help us.

You got me. All I know is I wish I could have 2 boats. The one I have now so I can actually go fishing at DL in April, and one to get back and forth from my house for a month until the water goes down. I missed out on Devils last spring because nobody would come in with a helicopter to pick up my trailer and bring it to Grand Forks so I could take the boat from my house to the ramp.

Tell me the specifics on what you prefer with brands, etc, and I will find a good deal for you.

just thought i would ask around to see if anybody has a newer boat for sale? we are trying to stay under 20k.

there are many "deals" out there you just have to look...and now is the time...if you have time to post on FBO you have time to look for boats. Check all the classifieds and MN and SD dealers...I looked for about three months last year before I found my "deal"

alot of good deals just look around. i picked up a 96 20ft lund alaskan with a 03 75 hp honda tiller for 4500.00 last spring.

guys, i know how to look for stuff online. i have searched bismanonline, craigslist in multiple cities, and every dealership in the area. just wondering if any of you knew of anyone personally that was looking to sell.

the problem is, most dealerships that i have tried contacting through email never answer you back. i think there's a few that are not even open in the winter if all they sell is boats. guess i wouldn't be either. the ones that do answer you back are so whacked out on their prices its not funny.

Craigslist for sure
