Hey flippy! Just out of curiosity (What with fuel and other costs going up) -> What is the total cost to own, insure, maintain, tow, outfit, and operate a bass-boat for 1 day of personal fishing :?: Also what's the total cost to do the same tournament fishing + tournament fees :?: SeaDog1

ya, this is going to SUCK,,,Well Seadog to answer your question, here it goes,, the cost to own a rig depends on who owns their boat and who owes on their boat, payments on boats are basically a car payment, insurance on a bass rig depends, most guys insure their rigs and everything else with it ( electronics, baits, tackle, rod and reels) prices vary but I would say 150 dollars to 500 dollars per year, the boats nowadays are pretty maintenance free but again they burn 2 stroke oil, so that must be added when needed, but when something happens or you take it to the dealer, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY... basic tune ups are usually done by the owner, for the tow vehicle, same thing, basic tune up and maintenance, now, my boat has a 32 gallon fuel tank, and so does my truck, thats 64 gallons of fuel,,, thats going to suck,, the prices of tournys are all over the place,, you can fish bigger tournys for less than 100 dollars, thats not bad,, team trails are looking better and better, partners usually pay half,, now just because these boats are fuel tanks, doesnt mean your going to burn all that fuel or even a 1/4 of it, also, I get 17 miles to the gallon with my truck pulling my boat,,, when I take the initial hit in the spring filling my boat, I just keep adding gas when I could, I see alot of guys will be fishing smaller lakes and ponds alot more this year,, so to go out and fish a day depending where I go, It could be 20 dollars or 100 dollars a day, :cry: tournament your probably around 200 dollars :cry:
