I also have a wonderfully supportive wife who enjoys boating as much as I do. BUT... I made sure to accumulate all my toys before I tied the knot
My wife is also very supportiv eso much so that she's the one pushing for the next onewhat a gal huh? I always laugh i'll always argue second guess or MF buying a 20 dollar pair of short's, do I really need this???????? $200 in the tank, don't even bat a eye

I hear that! Mine tells me we "NEED" a shower and a generator. We rafted next to a 41 Fastech for a weekend, and afeer she heard them talking about being able to plain even when one motor goes down she has also decided we also need something with tripps so we never have to idle home...

[QUOTE=machloosy;3516635]88242LS, some of these guys are blessed QUOTE]

For us, I think it was a little bit of both; hard work, and blessed. Fiance is a defense contractor for the D.O.D. and I'm in Sales in an industry that hasn't been dramatically effected by the failing economy! We too accumulated all of our toys before we're getting married.....

My only mistake was not getting a cat! First thing she said when we started looking for something to buy was, "I want a Nor-tech or a Skater...." SHES A KEEPER TOO!!!!!
