Looking at the possibility of buying a boat for fishing/recreation. Went out on my buddies Nitro and enjoyed it. The thing is I don’t even know where to start. A couple of things I do know
- It doesn’t need to be big. Ability to fish with 2 people, recreational float with 4
- It doesn’t need to be new or the best, it needs to be functional and reliable
- It needs to be easily repairable and parts need to be readily available
- It needs to come with a trailer
- Ideally it would be $5k or less.
- Aluminum vs fiberglass?
- Good used older brands?
Another thing to consider is storage. Ideally I would keep it near a lake so I do not need to haul it back and forth all the time. Are there locations like this by the lakes in central KY? What is the average cost? I have no issue with dry storage and hooking up the truck to pull it into the lake.
What about storage locations in Lexington for the winter. Is that a viable option? I can store it in my garage, but if it’s cheap enough I’d rather use that space to park my car.
Figured I would start here since you guys know the local market best.
