I believe they'd pull their mom's out of the nursing homes, and pimp their kids on the Lolita Express before they'd risk not qualifying for the BPT at Rayburn. This $#!t is a sickness, and some of us might as well benefit from it. I mean the thought that somebody, somewhere might be able to outfish them is something that they absolutely can not tolerate. Doesn't matter that they are already 64k in the hole this year, and the season is coming to a close. There's always Next Year ! I watch a couple car guys on YouTube and they were talking about something similar with car dealers. Basically, when your business plan is based on a 3% interest rate environment then it jumps to 8% in a year a half, the plan and business falls apart unless they are financially able to get to the other side so to speak. Which means possibly losing money on the units they acquired when rates were 3%. Or at least not making the profit they planned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealership just checks the build to make sure it’s as ordered and ready to hit the pond. They don’t install anything. This option is for boats that are purchased not boats at the dealership for sale. Lots of fishermen have a deal here or a deal there they can send those items to the factory for install on their new boat order pretty much no cost for installation. Where as if they are dealer installed there is a charge. My Ranger that I bought new in 2013 came factory rigged except for batteries and electronics. Another cutback by JohnnyCraft?

But I sure wish they'd had those fancy sublimated jerseys back before I quit tournament fishing. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one. It's not like I really have to be a pro to dress like one, right? Shoot, as Wrench said, it's a sickness. Just look at all the $100K rigs out there screaming up and down the lake with nothing but water in the livewells. 😂😆 grizwilson, waterpossum and DADAKOTA 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will sustain a family of four for a year. 😆😆 Champ188 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caymas is not. There is going to be a fire sale. 21/22/23 new, pro staff and memo boats are in real jeopardy. This is for sure buyer beware. You might own it for life. These guys that jumped to Boatwrk for ridiculous deals are pretty much going to have to start all over. There were bridges burned. You know the Ole Saying. Cheaper ain’t always Better.

fishinwrench Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Lots of shake-ups in the "professional bass fishing" arena going on now. Negativity from every angle. I believe the industry is on the way down....and about to tank. It's sinking hard and fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the channels that carry it are extra on cable now. And my wife retired so I have to pay like every other schmuck.
