Last time I saw Fat Boy was at Lip-Ship about a week before she left for BVI Done up to the Nines, what a beast of equipment in her belly!

Sometimes we do question ourselves, or others question what we do, or why.... I agree that most of us "do it for ourselves" and it's not always about resale...write it off as expensive hobby??? That's a major undertaking to change from staggered to side by side...to each their own and try to enjoy the process (not always fun!). Without getting a calculator out, I'm easily $200k++ into mine and have owned it for 4 years now...would be lucky to get half of that out of it if I sold it....which is pretty much what I have into motors alone. Fact is, once you are out there rolling through the waves listening to that fine tuned "orchestra", could care less about the $$$.....like to think of it as "Therapy"....expensive, but worth it (like a divorce!) :bong:

I've always said that to my wife (and friends). All the money dumped into this hobby - insurance, payments, storage, fuel, repairs, etc....all your troubles melt away when you're out running hard offshore, cruising a prestine lake or anchored up at the local party spot or deserted cove with a cold one on your hand and tunes on the radio.... Ain't nothing better, and it's ALL worth it. |

Don't get me wrong, I love it, and she's a bad, bad girl. Just taking temperature.
