Looking at building a new or buying a used bay boat for upcoming fishing season.
Option one would be to build a new Haynie/Shoalwater/ElPescador but the current build time is around 6-7 months. Pro would be having a new boat built the way I want but wont be ready until right before hunting season is about to start.
Option two would be to find/buy a slightly used boat. Been looking and I've found some slightly used Simmons and OG SCBs for around the same price as building a new lower end boat. Pro would be having a boat ready to go now and it being a Simmons but downfall is risk of buying a used boat and still pretty pricey but most likely worth the money based on quality.
Anyone gone through similar dilemma recently? Which route did you take or would you recommend?
