I agree 100% on that one. Our 36' is great on rivers and inland lakes but if we were always on the great lakes or in the ocean I think the 41' is the way to go for sure. When I was shopping I wanted something that was a little easier to tow and I didn't want it sticking out of my 40' slip.

I'm a pay-as-you-go sort of guy. Not the fastest, not the best. But if my junk sinks to the bottom, I'm gonna' be OK. Every time I see a new $600K boat, I'm wondering about how thick the payment book is.

After the season that I had, if I had boat payments on top of it all.....there would be scars on my wrists!!! But what the heck, I've now got two new engines and two fresh #6's...........probably the best time to sell!!!! That way I would be able to look at myself in the mirror!

Like mm has said, most boats are sold when they are tired!! The cost of them is the easy part!!!!!!

Let's be honest - boats don't get tired...boat owners get tired.
