You may recall the idiot that parked my Powerplay under a tree last year and the deck was stained. 
When you compare the costs it was a no brainer for me....
Boat - $100K
1 tank of fuel - 225 gallons
Insurance - $2,500 yr
Maintenence - expensive x2 (twinns)
Cobra - $60K
1 tank of fuel 17 gallons (that's 13.25 fillups vs. the boat)
Insurance - $600yr
Maintence - not much...427 Roush motor has a 2 yr / 24K mile warranty and only costs $15K new!!!
You can see the cost difference is huge...I can also sell my truck ($780 payment) and my house ($2,100 payment) Life will be easier.

Re: I am "officially out" of boating
Did the car thing for 30 years. Made money on all the cars I restored. Got into boating because you don't have to worry about every water spot and stone chip. Still have two old Vettes just for fun,. Every once in a while I show this one.
Good luck.
