Here at last ...

It is definitely shinier and more sleek than my boat - but truthfully the only thing I see from that picture that that boat has that mine doesn't is a ladder. I can get a ladder for 100 bucks I bet. 

I might feel cooler behind that wheel than my wheel - but I am just a weekend bank beater and my boat will be fine for a long time coming for that job.

with the ability finance a boat over 20 years, $100k boats are much more attainable for just about any income level. 

There is no way i would. but it is a option.  

Just ran it through the handy dandy mortgage calculator.  $100,000 at 2.9% for 20 years is $550.00/mo.  (Doubt you could get 2.9, maybe 3.9) Total payments $131,905.  Payment goes up to $601 at 3.9.  My first house cost less.

I can make a whole bunch of trips to CANADA, TEXAS, & TENNESSE for that kind of money & catch just as many fish out of my boat as you will out of that RANGER. If I had that kind of money to throw around I would go out & buy a new pick up & new boat motor trailer & still get back change.

Makes me want to put another coat of wax on my '87 Cajun to let her know I'm happy with her.

I just fluffed and buffed my 1989 Champion and it's purty and i have no payments and it floats and it's mine not the banks...lmao

The z520 and z521 cup tournament packages came down in price to around $68-$69k

Yep. The $98,995 is the Limited Edition of which they only made 150. Don't know if it's true but some are saying that all of the LE's were sold within an hour of their release. 

Now I really AM disappointed since I didn't "save" 30K after all!

Man. Even when I'm right I'm wrong.

I tell people that see my 1979 Chrysler Fin & Fun that if you gave me a brand new Ranger I would turn it down.

But if I did buy that boat with an ink pen and still did not catch fish.........

 Choices, people. It's all about choices. One person can justify what another cannot. Again,  it comes down to choices and priorities.

Donna and I choose to own a fairly expensive Ranger because we can personally justify the enjoyment we get out of it.  I also intend to be guiding by next spring so that is another justification for us. 

 We do not have children to support and educate so what we do with our money affects only us. 

 Personally, I would not spend $100,000 on a bass boat. But I also will not criticize anyone who does. What each of us does with our money is our own bidness.
