Thank you...its a hard thing to put information like this out, im not a boastful person...just wanna use my platform help people

Thank you...it is who i am...i cant help the costs...this is what i want to do....so i do it to the fullest! Gas is prolly a smidge less then i estimated on the truck

I bought 6yrs of motor warranty and im doing my own maitenance

I liked that you said your boat was in the shop more than you use it...good honest comment. That was why i went new...stinks it cost so much...but it aint the deep pockets of people buying....things naturally inflate over time as a result of other economic factors...salaries and component cost....cost are the costs i just go with it same with a lambo or ferrari...if i truly wanted one i would get one...but i cant afford that!

Your welcome bud...think i will keep on with this series

I hope it puts it into perspective

right! April 2022 was Painful AF

Im loving every second brother thanks for the comment

noobangler thanks brother

Thanks bud! Comments help drive views so i really appreciate you always droppin some good vibes

This is good stuff. What also interesting is that even if you did not have a boat payment that it wou”d still run you around $800 or $900 a month in osts.

The yamaha has very little needed maintenance....but I did the oil change myself.....I keep it clean....and tighten things down....but good suggestion I'll see what I can think up

I totally agree!

Yeah buddy

That it is i never really thought much about it...it still doesnt stop me at all...but i positioned myself to be in this position

thats awesome man! it ain't the boat that catches fish, i love my boat too!

Thats cute

Carl Willis and they bring a banana on board too. lol

I'm wondering if I should just get the new Tracker 170 for the same reasons. 50hp motor, lightweight. "Cheap(er)" than many other boats. I dont do large lakes or tourneys so 🤷‍♂️

Lmao so very true! They want nearly 400 here for storage in some places

On a new boat it's minimal...but they do happen...I will be doing another vid and series about this topic soon

Chance Williams that is coming up!!

Reach out to me when you can @bucketlisthunt on Instagram.

Interesting anything particular you wanna see?

Beyond The Bounds everything set up to start what type of clothes you have to wear for weather conditions tackle, rods , line !!

new or used?

Oh dear god...no way i could do that vid...i love them all!

I wash and use boat bling products

Beyond The Bounds thank you!!

So how is it??

Boat runs great just simple maintenance it’s a 85 skeeter star fire as far as fishing I can do almost everything a 70k boat can. The Bass really love the live bait on that lake they have a phd in lures and plastics lol.

thanks brother....I'll be poppin on over there later

I am here but got flow cup live on tv thru net flick on you tube

hobie was much lower....basically gas and tournament fees with food etc mixed in

gregory thomas I run an aluminum multi species rig, and my costs are less than half of the costs discussed here.

Team Jesus Outdoors exactly Greg...I'm just representing the top of the line boat and not paying the minimum....a lot of people will buy used...how much you drive it and trailer it will determine your costs. Aluminum is the cheaper option for gas too.....I in no way wanted an aluminum rig...they are great don't get me wrong...but it is a Camry and glass is a corvette...I wanted the corvette.

Thanks guys. My goal is to purchase a boat in about 3-5 years. I have two daughters in college this year so I will have to keep paddling for a few more seasons. The sacrifice will be worth it.

Keep in mind that you can find nice aluminum rigs, a few years old, for under 20k, all the time.

B.O.A.T. stands for Break Out Another Thousand

I wouldve dumped that POS right quick. lit it on fire... something. Never buying a boat, thats what boat clubs are for. The best boat is someone elses.

Set on fire and call your insurance company , would've save you a lot of headaches .

I still have my Minn kota I bought with my first paycheck when I started working when I was 16. How TF did you break so much??

jesus after all that BS you bought ANOTHER merc?? cmon man, should have learned your lesson and gotten a yamaha lol

agreed....they will always give you the lowest possible...best to have some equity built in so you can lower the negative equity you carry over to the next one if possible

True

My stuff is local with occasional weekend trips

John Oleskey very good comment are your lakes local? I have to haul 40 mins minimum to get to my nearest fish able body of water.....what is your payment?....im curious how your operating expense is so low? If you paid all cash I would say you are losing money that would need to be depreciated and the loss of what your money could have earned is also a loss....are you only using the trolling motor?.....I'm a normal person, I just track things very closely for business purposes. Thanks for the comment bud!

@@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors I fish the Yough about a 45 min drive, Raytown just over a hour, 10 mile on the Mon about an little over an hour. Then the Loyalhanna about 45 mins. My problem is getting fresh gas in the boat tanks. Neither lake have long runs. Well maybe Raystown does. I spend much,more time fishing than running, but I guess that comes with knowing the lakes. I don't have to map them. Driving is mostly 4 lanes with a Grand Cherokee. Maybe two full tanks a month for the Jeep. However that includes some run around mileage too. My boat cost half of what you paid with 200hrs on the motor. And I have the fx20 but even used you would never know if. Again that is a choice neither is wrong. Remember I'm not earning a living fishing. So no tax breaks etc. Could I have made more investing and borrowing? Maybe over the past year. Let's just say the small amount of return on that money is not worth the worry. So where did my money come from? You don't want it the way I got mine. AFLACK, my wife has breast cancer. In fact my boat is redone in pink and special decals for her. But the point is I still would not tie up a loan on a non investment that drops like a rock. Make a trip up I will teach you how to fish deep water lakes.

I can elaborate on the financial part..this is one of my businesses

I do watch travis religiously....great content....i imagine his work on youtube is geared towards the future runs at the tour again. But this is a very expensive sport...i am self employed and set my own schedule....but i have to work full time and then after hours...i just hustle

Oster910 man thats real tough one...with used it will always be a risk

One must always look to the future amd not forget the past....its how you make and achieve plans

Yup better be able to pay to play!

Jadiel 254 lol my bad or you are welcome

Thats good. I have to cover a lot of water on new lakes for tournaments. You can make gas last if you take it slow and fish the same place constantly and don't have to drive far.

Beyond The Bounds yeah I fish Conroe and Rayburn over here in Houston and I run a lot I just try not to go fast I cruise around 3500 rpms to try to not burn fuel and I get a lot out of a tank even on an old mariner 200 EFI but when I lay into her that old hull can sure pull

You gotta start somewhere and this is for a new boat....and just like owning a corvette this is just as fun.....I don't tell everyone in the road in a corvette they should be driving a Camry....this ain't luxury it's a boat...not some 500k yacht.

Oh tell me about it! Best times i have are standing on the deck of my skeeter zx250

Best to finance the whole thing and trade in every couple of years

Beyond The Bounds / Okay, Thank you. That means I can let my money sit and gain more interest.

Hahah......but sooo true....I struggled with this as a new owner.

Roger that!

Seriously thats all you got from this?

Sorry i came off in such a negative way... my point is that you are an awesome fisherman, I just feel that your vids should feature that more... your boat tutorials are very helpful. perhaps you have gone a touch overboard with itt in my humble opinion.

Thank you...and im going thru the whole process cradle to grave with owning a boat, my goal is to help people get their first boat,understand the costs,and be happy. It helps set my channel apart too so i can grow. I want to grow because ive spent 4 yrs trying on youtube.if i was a pretty girl it would be overnight!!!

@@BeyondTheBoundsOutdoors good content! I don't have a boat yet & find this very interesting & informative from an owner perspective. I'm going to start small and get a fishing kayak & will see where that leads me. With my school loans & mortgage I don't ever know when I'll be able to get a nice boat but am betting the kayak will satisfy my fishing cravings for the time being.

Right on man solid advice

And thats the stuff the guys who buy used dont tell you about

Lol or too donate to someone like ive been doing haha

Truth! LOL!

Haha yeah....if i paid the bare minimum it would be 79k after 15yrs...the min is $450 i pay $650 and will likely bump that up to $1k real soon. Boat cost was 55kotd

Beyond The Bounds ahhhh okay that makes more sense lol

ThomasHardenFishing I gave my exact costs....there are reasons why people sleep in the backs of trucks to do events hahah is what it is

That's why I play in a smaller boat with a 150hp, so I can sleep in the Super 8. LOL! =)

Nah im just a hack with a youtube channel

Nah man cocky is trying to represent myself as knowing it all, check my vids i call myself a noob all the time....everyone knows this is my first boat...the costs are the costs...im not making things up i am relaying the experience for others to learn

hes got money

0you must not be good at math. You can easily build equity if you pay more on your boat the the min payment and or if you finance for a shorter term like 7 years.

I try to be one of a kind...just me

Yessir. Definitely not an investment. People cam fish on the bank and drive a toyota yaris lol. I am not pokin fun...this is expensive. But like a porsche, lambo, corvette...its not necessary to do the job when a pinto gets you to point a and b...if you can and want to then do so, is all im saying

Cuz we can

For my size boat 250....225 would do it but 250 is best....other than that smallet rigs and motors work just as well

Oh this made me laugh hard....they live rent free jahah

Mainly Cuz i dont want one... its like a fancy corvette if you wamt a 2018 why get a 1996...i bought what i wanted to make me and only me happy....flukemaster did say he saves money on the aluminum rig though...and it aint the boat that catches fish its just what i wanted so i got it

Beyond The Bounds gotcha

Aluminum prices are getting up there though. My dream boat is the Lund Pro V Bass 1875 but after you build it the price is around $45k. Even Ranger aluminums are pushing $30k!

djxxxplicit still nothing compared to the $70k-$80k or more that can easily be spent on fiberglass. Plus increased cost of operation of fiberglass.

Well i hope my girlfriend is rich too cuz after my boat causes a divorce im gonna need it hahaha.... the boat stays!

I will look into that!

fluty films tournament coverage is more liability for big boats I've tried state farm doesn't offer 1 part that most tournaments ask for in Florida,,, depending on ur state and coverage options he's paying a very fair price if he's tournament qualified

We are, we got a 20 ft boat. We do everything including high school tournaments. We are in Tennessee though

Thanks

well man everyones costs are gonna be different. Area codes matter too, how far you trailer the boat matters. people often neglect simple things that are associated with ownership. Cut costs where you can, buy a cheaper boat....but you can't say a 55k-80k boat payment is $140....and pros will spend $100 on oil for two strokes......So its not way off for me....for you yes....but for anyone looking to get into the same caliber of boat and do everything I do (finance/tournament/etc) thats what its gonna run.

Beyond The Bounds it is very true! I think that it definitely depends where you fish. For me I live right by 4 nice lakes so I don't have to go too far. As far as tournaments go, travel costs definitely add up but don't let the number of a tournament angler deter you from getting a boat if you are planning on just recreational fishing.

Okay well let people know here cuz they read the comments. How much did your boat cost? how far of runs on the motor do you make? how many times a week do you fish it? i'm sure with your close proximity you can use the big motor less? If you paid cash for it depreciate that out over the ownership of the boat and add that to the monthly total. These are the simple things people don't understand about finance and the ownership of boats at different levels. The guy who owns and finances a ranger and competes in COSTA events is gonna say he wishes boat ownership cost $1200.

Beyond The Bounds very true man. Well I bought a 96 charger for 9000 cash. I don't think that the cost of the boat would go into the cost of running one though. When I fish I drive maybe 30 minutes on average and the usage of the big motor depends on where the wind is blowing, time of year, etc. I fish about twice a week so I'd estimate 100 bucks a month in truck gas, about the half of that for the boat running between 3 and 10 miles a trip. So $150 bucks plus oil costs would be roughly $165 a month for gas and oil. Storing a boat at about $80 bucks for indoor no heat with electric. Then you just have to add in winterizing and the oh shit fund adds maybe 40 a month. I'd say just under $300 a month without tournaments. More if I include my FLW tournaments.

Beyond The Bounds I definitely don't want to dis you man! I love your videos and this particular one was very well produced and executed!
