I hated to add all of this up, because I have been ignoring it for a reason. Wow now I know why they say these are money pits....... Im sure I havent included alot of other misc stuff. WOW, and hopefully this is the last of the spending, its finally fishing like I want it.

I don't think I even want to dig that folder up.... LOL... I bought everything brand new last year (boat, motor, trailer) and added another new 80# Maxxum and another batt this year.... another converter, 6g wire, hydroturf, underpad, glue lights, wire, conduit, Tach, Go-light, Too much to figure... Just BOWFISH!!!!! :laugh:
 
12K for the boat, 400 for the troller motor, and the bill is still climbing on the fan. Way more than what I want to spend on carp! Atleast my boat is used to duck hunt and rod-and-reel fish off of as well as shooting fish.
 
And you still have alot more to go!!! LOL Better hurry!
 
15k. just spent $20 today on the stickers so I can put it on water. New boat and motor. custom fixtures sitting here - another 600+. remote ballast box (with ballast kit) $500. 1k troller. still goin. stereo, on board charger, custon platform. ok I don't want to know anymore.
 
Sometimes it's better now to know!!! I have a file just slap full of receipts and have not added it all up again in a long time and probably never well!
 
I have roughly 3k total in mine....


 
My boat is my profile picture.
boat-50
paint-40
seats, trailer, and trolling motor- swiped off our old jon boat
new battery-100
floor material- extra stuff laying around
hardware-10
barrel-5
solar panel trickle charger-25

So far we have 230 bucks in our boat. I want to possibly put a better platform on the front. A very small generator and a few lights will be added here in the first part of the summer. My brother and I will finally be able to night fish.
