True story; after complaining for 20 plus years about not having a Cigarette wife said " I'm tired of hearing about it, if you don’t go buy the damn thing I will" Concerned that she might order wrong power and color, caught quick flight to Miami ordered boat five days later.
Seemed like the right thing to do.
Persistence does pay off!
Cheers!

Our main boat now we say is hers. She really wanted a cruiser, and talked me into it. (gotta say I really enjoy it though since we pretty much live on it 4 days a week) I just can't bring myself to sell the Fountain, even though it's only seen water 3 weekends last 2 1/2 yrs.
So no need to find reasoning.

Wasn't hard at all to sneak that one past the spousal unit
She never really was much of a fan of the "Death Rocket" as she called it, haha.

I got it easy. Wife loves the boat & being on water as much as I do. Her only stipulation, never a catamaran, only V bottom boats. She enjoys speed too which is great, unless it is some super nasty water....then she wants to run in the 40's.

Well after being out of boating for a few years, and moving down to
Fl 9 years ago got the bug again. So my fiencee went back up to NY to
Help her boss out at her old job for a few weeks. She tried reaching me
On Saturday morning and was not able to reach me. Then in the afternoon she got a hold of me, and asked where have I been I started laughing and told her just bought a boat and trailing it home.
Well she never came back home she stayed up in NY, but it turned out to be the best boat that I have ever bought.
