There's nothing more exciting than getting a new boat!

Okay maybe there are some other things that are more exciting but for those who love fishing a brand new boat is a ton of fun, until it isn't.🥹

I find myself surrounded by a lot of people at numerous types of fishing tournaments and it never fails. There are always a couple of anglers with stories to tell about their new boats. This is most certainly becoming the norm rather than an occasional situation. The interesting part of this story is it isn't any particular brand of boat it seems to be almost all of them. The speedometer doesn't work, the live well doesn't work, the lights don't work. There are so many stories of brand new boats that have to go back from where they came.

I'm not pointing the finger 👉 or blaming anyone, but you know the old saying "it must have been made on a Friday" seems to be a Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday problem 😬 as well all of a sudden.

I bought a brand new boat a few years ago and the trailer they came with was too small and so were the tires that weren't fit for a wheelbarrow. One of the disheartening things about my purchase is the fact that I waited 20 years to have a brand new 50 horse motor and when I got one I was extremely disappointed. ☹️ Drop that thing into its lowest idol to troll and it would mix a drink. I'm not kidding, that thing vibrates the boat to the point of making my rear end numb. The sad thing is the manufacturer apologized for my experience rather than give me a solution.

I don't ask for much.

Whether you spend $20,000 or $120,000 when you launch your boat you just want it to work! 🙂
