High performance boating is like dating a really really hot chick, who is crazy! It's a lot of fun, you spend too much money, your up all night ending up sweaty & greasy from it, your friends are jealous, you get admission into some weird club.. But it gets mad at you for no reason, throws fits seemingly randomly, has unexplained issues which somehow solve themselves only after you try a bunch of different parts and spend a bunch of money to solve it...and yet you can't resist getting in it every chance you can.

Lets talk about trust. They say there going to change and they act really nice for a while so you plan a trip with them and all your friends. You get your hopes up and spend a lot more money and go out of town with them. She then throws a fit as soon as you get there ruining everyones weekend!

It really is the worst sport I could have gotten into. That is, financially, physically and mentally! So it potentially a 4 to 5 hundred dollar a day hobby. Not to mention, the beating you body takes working/getting the boat ready, hitting waves, and dehydration the next day! Then, if something is wrong with the boat, it becomes my FIRST priority in life! Its all I think about until its solved/fixed. I would say, Im obsessed, and it takes ALOT out of me....but I cant stop!!!!

It is like having a wife who is a bi-polar, psychotic, nymphomaniac Victoria Secret lingerie model, in a drug rehab program, with multiple personalities, that you happen to fall in love with.

I will say that this hobby definitely changes your perspective on money. Now everything that I pay for in other aspects of my life seems like a freaking DEAL. I've been messing around with cars my whole life and I used to think that $5k for the service on a Ferrari was a rip-off. $1,100 fuel fill-ups will change your state of mind.
Also, I used to think it was a pain in the ass to detail a car. After obsessively detailing my boat for a few years I can detail a car in my sleep!
