I have owned several boats over the last 35 yrs and currently have a 16 ft fishing boat with a single console ( great boat). I sold a 19 ft thundercraft last yr to thin the fleet ( i had 2 boats at the same time ). So here I am now in the market for a 18-19 ish ft fishing rig with a dual console and full top ( so the bride is more comfortable when we go cruising), preferably with a 115 hp 4 stroke. I just about **** my pants at the price. I could buy a nice car for that money. How the heck can manufacturers justify north of 50+ grand for a piece of aluminum with a steering wheel, NO Adaptive cruise, no emergency braking, no self park and a fuckin $17.000 outboard etc. I just can't wrap my head around that. OK so I'm old school and I realize prices have gone up but OMG this is out of hand. WTF am I missing. Im going to the sportsman show in March to kick tires but I'm sure I'm going home empty handed 
️ and dont get me going regarding the price of optional insurance for those things.( insurance is not mandatory for most watercraft , depending on size) I take it out once a week and there no traffic....WTF.
