Dreamer,
I would have to say I agree and disagree with you. I have been in certain situations trying to acquire certain things and always looking for the "safe" deal or the "too good to pass up deal" and alot of times I ended up without anything. Nobody needs a performance boat and lets face it, as much as you don't want it to be an emotional purchase, it almost always ends up to be emotional. I don't blame anyone for waiting in todays market, but very rarely will you get a beautiful boat for a give away price or too good to pass up price. Sometimes, you just have to pay a little more than your conservative side will allow. And, if you can't get emotional about it, you don't deserve the boat. I can remember how upset you were when you lost that deal on the Glad and I am sure Jeff goes to bed at night thinking about what he could see himself running in this summer. Keep looking for the right deal, but if anything is even close, go for it. Life is too short to worry about a little depreciation on something that can bring you alot of joy. And,........ its good for the economy, or whats left of it. :D

I listen to everyone here talk about the boats they missed out on. My point is that if you want a boat badly enough than you have to show your serious. Like the saying goes "money talks and bullsh-t walks". If you dont leave deposits than thats your thing but dont get upset when the deal passes you by. And if you think your comment on owning more boats than most of us makes you a better man you are mistaken. Just to check your ego,

2001 35 fountain 500's
2002 29 fountain 350's
2002 42 fountain 575's
2000 30 mystique 500's
2003 36 gladiator 525's
oh yeah, and I am 30 years old so when I am your age we could check back in with each other to compare lists again.
