Way over priced

You guys do realize what new boats cost, even little aluminum fishing boats? The motors themselves are expensive.
The company came out with what you guys were asking for. They cant sell a new boat and motor for the price of a used one, that is just unrealistic. Also, why would they even do this if they couldnt make a little money

Ya. I'd much rather buy Kyle's nautique for less than 5k and invest whatever I needed to and still come out cheaper. The tower is not collapsible either.

10k?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously you can go buy a brand new 16' boat from bass pro for 6500 WITH WARRANTY!! Take another 1,000 to add a tower and you already have a boat better than the one in the picture.....

My boat is basically the exact same set up as that rig....

Anyone who has ridden behind it can contest to the in out...super fun time

I'd suggest people build their own before throwing money away on that "set up"

i know they reinforced this boat with 1in square tubing on the floor's and side wall's to give it exstra stability...im not sure how that helped the already small 40horse engine with all that exstra weight in the boat...and it was my understanding that this boat was just a reg. john boat that they built the center console and all the driving gearing in it...so if im understanding this right its a full custom built boat not just one they bought and put a tower on.Good idea not say'in we would buy one, We built our muffler tower dinggy.Still need to chop out about 18in out of the top of ours..

Really not sure what everyone is complaining about

One of those Trixsta boats out of Australia are about the same price

Did yall think someone was going to make a brand new sick ass john boat setup for $3.50????
