New guy, old Question

[Mousejockey]

Im lookin to get into a Pontoon boat, so far all I can seem to find are 15-20 year old boats going for 10K+ Is this a Calif thing or are the prices on older rigs as much elsewhere???

[HandymanHerb]

Depends on what they look like, but look all the around, you never find the cheap or good ones till after you buy one

But all you can do is look around and not get in a hurry, you should have bought during the colder weather, for the lowest prices

Yeah, its a calif. thing. I had a hard time beliving asking prices 3 years ago when I
was looking for a toon. Actually got a good deal on a used boat from a local dealer.

Yea, I know its the wrong time of year, but ya start when ya start eh? Im in no rush, and Im more interested in a moss/grass over grown, missing the motor raccoons living in it kinda deal. not really happy with floorplans Ive seen cept for the castaway series, but I feel they need a bit more so lookin for tubes n frame I guess.
