The 929 is an awesome boat and anyone that says otherwise obviously has their own particular brand that they favor.The 929 isn't the fastest boat on the market but its got a great ride and handles rough water with ease.Its got tons of storage and nice features come standard that other companies charge you extra for.My first boat was a nitro and i put it through all kinds of #@%$ and never had any problems with it at all.Good friends of mine also have 9 series boats and have nothing but good things to say about them.
As far as the resale argument that always seems to get brought up by someone,if you do the math correctly you'll see that the depreciation on a nitro is no different than on other brands.Price an 05 20 foot ranger or triton and see what they're going for,40K+ depending on options is about the going price.You'll be getting a lot of boat for 30k if you do buy it.
I've heard guys like the one on here talk bad about nitro for years but i ignore them for a few simple reasons,Rick Clunn,Kevin Van Dam,Woo Daves and Stacey King just to name a few.If nitro is good enough for these guys to endorse and fish out of year round then they're probably good enough for your average fisherman!!
