Well, deal is done and I'm picking it up Friday at noon, then driving it to the storage marina facility. So, I still have a couple weekends left of usage.

Choose to go with the heated rack storage with unlimited in/out service. Boat will always be clean and I don't have to worry about trailering or anything along those lines.

It doesn't look like I have the ability to post pics just yet, as I'm still a newbie in the forum...

That is drastically under estimated. My little 454 24 outlaw has no problem burning 50 gallons of fuel a day.

50 x $3.50 = $175
a conservative 10 days a season = $1750

A 38 special has 14 feet and about 5500 lbs on me, and an extra engine. If you're trying to budget for fuel for a season I would expect it to be over $4000 easily.

I might go out more often than most, and the boating season down here is pretty long. But, i've spent over $3000 on fuel this year.

I hit the wrong button and it posted the other a minute ago.

You'll find this to be money well spent.
I've been keeping mine at a storage facility lately with valet service and with my membership we can launch our jet skis free. Not having to lug the boat back and forth from the shop alone is worth the price of admission and everytime we put the ski's in the water it's money saved towards the rental fee.

See ya,
Kelly

posting pics is EASY, upload your pics to a hosting site like photobucket:

www.photobucket.com

or picassa, ETC theres lots of free image hosting sites around, i personally use photobucket.

Anyway, its a free site, post the pics there and there then when you create a post on OSO you can hit the "insert image" button when posting and insert the link to the pic thats hosted on photobucket (or whatever host site you use).
