I am looking for a new boat for this summer. I fish for all kinds of species. I want something thats fast, comfortable, and can hold up to six people. I am willing to spend up to $30,000. Anyone have any suggestions? [fishin] ---

No, but can you spot me a few thousand bucks? kidding. I’ve heard ranger boats are good. Police officer friend of mine has one. But I don’t know what kinda dough you’d have to lay down for one. ---

Well if i were going to buy a new boat i would go with Lowe. They are great boats. They are packed with features and options, look great and ride really nice. These boats are made from aluminum and are very lightweight for their size so that means you don’t need to fill up your truck every trip to the lake. If i had a pick i would got for the 17’ deep-V fish and ski they have out. Halls 7 comfortably. and then it transforms into one hell of a fishing machine. With a 115HP motor you are gonna go plenty fast. you can get this boat well equipped with motor and trailer for well under $30,000. I think i seen one round 24,000 and it had all the goodies. Check them out and let me know what you think. ---

I’m pretty satisfied with my new boat. An all around boat and pretty roomy. [Here’s a picture](http://i40.tinypic.com/wj9hqd.jpg) ---

While your shopping check out the Lunds. I’ve owned two and they are great on the water, plus they seem to give you more bang for your buck. If they can drop them from the air thats the boat I want under my feet. LOL ---

your boat looks nice, but how many people can it comfortable? ---

Well it has the one chair in the front. Then the Driver and passenger seat. I know it looks like there’s just one chair for the way back but we took out the back seat because we were fishing. It’s almost like a 3 person couch that goes in at the back of the boat. So i’d say 5 to 6 people comfortably. ---

If your looking to save some cash, I would go with a Stratos bass boat. You can get them brand new for about $13,000 fully decked out. That will be the boat I will be getting as soon as I pay off my car loan[;)]
