there is nothing wrong with fishing out of a 4 or 5 year old boat or even a little older. i have a 98 skeeter and couldnt be more happy it runs just as good as all the other boats, and if your good enough you should beable to fish in an aluminum boat and win a tournament you can get a new one of them for half the price of a new fiberglass boat
if you are one of the people complaining about the cost of boats cuase you want a new one GO GET ANOTHER JOB! work 2 jobs for a while so you can afford it.
STOP COMPLAING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
oh and if your life the disable guy.....the way i see it if you can fish you can work. you can do some type of work. maybe not the best job in the world but you do not have to stay on disability!
