So, what’s Purdy going to do with all that newfound money? He said he and his wife have some ideas, but his first big purchase will be something that “annoys” his wife – a bass boat.
“I’ve always been a big fishing advocate, so I was telling my wife, and she’s annoyed with me, but I’ll say it, I’d like to get a bass boat some day. So, that’ll be my first big purchase,” Purdy said with a laugh.
