New Boat Help

[Gerry]

I'm thinking of buying a new or newer boat. Make and model undecided yet. I am looking for input from you boaters out there about reputable dealers.
Both pro's and con's please.

Thank you.

pretty vague.... Any ideas of length, motor size, typical water youll have it on, price range, fishing style? Help us help you hahaha

Sorry, I'm asking about the dealer, not the boat.
Thanks anyway

It might be helpful to know where you're boat shopping. Other than that, I can't really help out, every boat I've ever owned was used and a private deal.

I have had good luck at Free Spirit Marine for new outboard motors, his name is Thane . And Europa canopy in Edmonton for a new Mirror craft boat, not sure if he is still selling them or, not? His name is Daryl.

Im sure there must be some good deals at the the dealers with last year stock left over, and the dismal prospects of this years new fish'n regs!

Good Luck!!

x2 on Free Spirit. Only dealt with them for a few parts, a service, and a warranty transfer. Were helpful and straightforward.

Hi Gerry,

Barry Jays has been reworking their website as of late, so it shows their Lund and Princecraft new offerings but also an up to date listing of their used inventory. That might be a good place to start as you figure out what you want and your budget. The used inventory or changing quick this time of year so a phone call is a good option as well once you have an idea what you are looking for.

Full disclosure, I Pro Staff for Barry Jays and Princecraft. I wouldn’t do it if I hadn’t had a great experience with both of them previous to being pro staff.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if I can help in anyway.

My boat came from Outlaw Eagle manufacturing in Red Deer. I had a hand in designing the models interiors and prostaff for them. I ran the boat last year for the first time and it was an amazing boat made right here in Alberta.

They also have boats for sale there. Their sales division is Burnt Lake Motorsports.

They have a couple of my Eagle Kokanee models in stock. Also can make your dream custom boat.

Got mine from Boat Mart in Red Deer. Family run business, seem very knowledgeable and eager to please. They deal Alumacraft brand for fishing.

I bought my Mirrocraft tinner from Recreational Power Sports last year. They are good to deal with and swung me a decent deal.
