Not a bad boat for the price-As someone else pointed out huge bait and switch,Pick-up at store and it still comes out to about $1300(For a $599 boat) Incurring $699 in shopping plus additional taxes..Not worth it at ALL.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bait and switch

6 months ago
The only way to buy it is by paying an extra $250 for shipping doesn't matter if it comes to your home or the store so the price is actually $250 higher. This is definitely a bait and switch situation.

No, I do not recommend this product.
