Linestretcher:

Willy has typically got a "Show Special" running...usually a brand new boat, ready to fish and costs around $3999.

Heck of a deal to get you going....providing you prefer alum., that is.

Have you considered building your own from wood? Not all that hard, really, and you wind up with a thing of beauty that can help catch fish too. Lower cost, but higher maintenance.
