Boat Choice
 
In my opinion it is almsot impossible to accuratley book a boat using NADA. These guides are exactly what they say " GUIDE". The best way to determine the value of a boat is to look at recent comparable sales in your market. People here try to be brand loyal and bad mouth other companies that they know nothing about. Cheetah makes a decent boat and Cheetah Bob will be the first one to tell you why they are inexpensive. I say get what you fall in love with and try to buy it right so you can resale it when you are ready for another boat. I also suggest to take a ride in each of these boats because I guarantee that they each have COMPLETELY different handling characteristics! Not that it matters but thats my advice!

She's a woman,
One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his
house. His three children were outside, still in their pajamas,
playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all
around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was
the front door to the house.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had
been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In
the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the
family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled
on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass
lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back
door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles
of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or
that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the
bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel.
She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.

He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come
home from work and ask me what in the world did I do today?"

"Yes" was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

That's how she does her job and still able to post on here, And she does do her job, she just called and gave me a quote. Aren't Women amazing. I just thank God everyday I am not one. I like to take naps.:evilb:

I love it! hahaha :Score-101010:

Stacy,

From one performance boat insurance agent to another, I have a question. When do you have time to sell insurance with all the posting you do? I'm a long time advertiser on this site and barely have time to monitor it.

Ken Collier
Elton Porter Insurance
"Since 1930"

The same way every one else does,Most of who are self employed and above average income.

I have owned several Kachina's and many other boats. Like one poster said about buying popular boats in your area. Thinks how many Fountains and Cigarettes you have seen trolling around our local lakes! What maybe 5 or 10? Arizona has more registred boat owners per capita than any other state so I think we know what we are talking about when it comes to boats, lol. Maybe I will see you on the water soon, just placed my deposit for Kachinas new 39 Patron and will have it on the water early next year!

Very nice! I love Kachina's boats!!!! You'll have to send a photo of the boat when you have it so we can keep an eye out for you? Where do you usually boat?
