As long as I don't know it's not reality, it's more fun this way.

It only took me 43 years to ficure that out also. Befriend a guy with your dream boat and live viacriously beside him. In the past three years i have been to Key West twice and hit several poker runs on the east coast and the highlight was prop testing driving his 36 Skater 160 mph! Living the dream....with some assistance.

starting last year when I bought my new boat it was 60 k for the boat.... ran it for one summer then put 20 K into the motors and refreshing one drive....now and in gas doc fees and alcohol and it all equals up to way too much lol but I do love my new boat.......

all that equals budget way out the window

This is what it is for me, this was one of the best boating days I've had in while, a DD drove us home and I drank all the way, thanks guys.

I really lost a impeller, but Sea Tow is the bomb.

I blow all the money I have and don't have on boating. I work all winter to pay for the summer before that I was boating. Can go write you a list of all the friends that I have lost since school. Life is short, boat are cool. Don't sweat it!
