Well I finally did it . Great Service Bass Pro Boat Centre .
Ive been talking for years at getting a boat . After many years of fishing out of my tin can 12 footer , Or from shore . The past 6 weeks Ive really looked at boats of all brands . I finally settled .
Bought the 2012 Pro Guide V-175 Combo with the 115 XL OptiMax I had all the options a guy can buy added and it still only cost me GST all in 26,000 and change . I decided to Finance it for 5 years to keep payments low.
The lay out of the boat is perfect everything I wanted it to be , wish it had 1 or 2 more cubby's but whichever . I also get the motor extended warranty from Mercury from 5 year to 7 years free .Also going to upgrade the fish finder / sonar , perhaps move the current one to the bow and mount the new one on the consol .
I have the Bill of sale on hand I go pick it up at the end of March , but need to go in and take my banking information and what not next weekend .
Pretty excited Ive been in several boats , but never owned me a real motor boat . So I took that stupid boaters course , and get the card in the mail here . Now just to get a plate for the trailer , and registration for the boat life is gonna be perfect . I cant wait for the lakes to melt .
I was very pleased with the Service from Bass Pro Shops in Calgary there , Salesmen by the name Chi was super awesome , not pushy , wanted to know what I wanted in a boat , probably helped I did my home work . And the Finance guy Bill was super awesome aswell . I would defenetly buy another boat from these guys .
Anyone else own this boat in previous years ?
Heres a few pictures of er .
