Looking at Stealths. They seem to be the best on the market as far as quality. Unlike others, they are not a made over golf cart. I need prices too, if you have them.

Not Bad Boy.

I do not recommend any of them but I beg you not to buy a Bad Boy. Ex-FIL had one and so did my dad. Both were absolute garbage.

We have a battery powered Polaris.. It's awesome.
I didn't buy it so I don't know the cost.

We have a Stealth that we keep at my parents house just to hunt our land. We have had no problems out of it. Bought it used about 3 years ago. We also all own 4 wheelers and I never use them on our land when the Stealth is available. I also have a buddy and they have several regular golf carts that they use but the roads on their property is not muddy at all.

Depends on accessories...Dad has one that has just about everything except siri sattelite radio and the gun rack....14K....Nice ride...Have had a couple problems, nothing major...Make sure where you buy it, they have mechanics that have worked on them for a while...We've done most of the "fine tuning" ourselves, talking to the factory direct....a little front end noise, little brake noise...thats about it....its a hoss!

Biggest reason for going electric over gas is LESS NOISE...you can practically drive right up to deer on an electric...Only have about 140 acres to hunt, so this would be perfect.

You won't be driving up to the fields. You will be parked away from your spot. Might as well walk. Might as well have taken a gas polaris since you are parking a bit away anyways. Electric is nothing but troubling pieces of crap.
I hunted on a buddies 140 acre piece... i pretty much walked everywhere on it. Got the bike for kills. Some parts were a decent 15-18 minute hike but frick, it's awesome walking back after hunts and shite usually.

Stealth is supposed to have fixed the issues it had with burning up motors. This was a big problem on early 64-volt models.
Bad Boy has supposedly fixed the issues with "runaway" buggies. Don't buy a used one unless you are sure it has been rehabbed under the recall -- the recall about which that they never notified owners.
I sold my Bad Boy after waiting 6 months for the dealer to get the new throttle assembly (the reason for the recall). Bought a 2WD 48-volt Beast. Only had it for six months -- so far, so good.
