Need advice on new boat (men only)
 

After completeing a new garage, I noticed that my 25 Baja is much to small for it. I need advice on convincing the wife that I need a new boat to fill up the area. How would you guys handle this situation :D :D :D

Buy what you want let her find out about it later. The suffering will occur either way, It is just easier to handle the suffering while sitting in you new boat in your new garage.:p

Easier to get forgivenes then permission.

I always say it is easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

A little like the previous post.

Every boat I purchased was harder than pulling teeth to get the wife to agree. To the point where each time I was 30 seconds from just giving up, and forgetting the whole thing. but the persistance paid off.

1 18 1/2' Rinker
2 21 Liberator
3 272 Formula


go the finance route. get all the numbers put together. with interest rates so low, if you buy a NEWER boat, you can get a longer term loan ( just don't risk getting upside down of course)
and your payment (if you have one) may be LESS!!!!


boat loans fixed are about 7%, home fixed, 6 3/8, variable home equity 5 1/4 !!! and if it qualifies, you get to write off interest at tax time

and don't take no for an answer, wear her down, she'll break
we're happy now with our Formula ;) but it was a long road.....

good luck,

oh, get a potential buyer for the baja too, gotta sell the whole package

You have to get a boat with a "Woman's Cabin." It has to have all the stuff from home like; a frige, sink , shower, and non portable pottie. Most woman don't care about power and speed, but the only time they care about size is when they get a big cabin.

I would love to help you out (from a woman's point of view). But, you said ("men only"). Good Luck....he he he:D

You can try to work the safety angle. Tell her how much safer a bigger boat will be. If that does not work just find a boat that has a real nice crapper. That is usually high on their list.

I didn't mean to exclude the ladies out there, but you all have a way of ganging up on us poor folks

Rick252~ Not OSO girls!!!!;)

Got a friend with a bigger boat? IF so get her out on it.

If that does not work see below :D:D

I would have asked the ladies advice see what works on them as you know how brilliant us guys are when it comes to figuring them out :D:D:D

"I always say it is easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission"...totally!!!!

or get her riding on bigger boats!!! they don't like to go back....that's what i did with my last wife...hummmm i see a pattern??? she had a woman also and never went back???hummm...

Take her to a boat show
they are all coming up in sept october time frame
Look at the bigger boats and stuff
she will find something she likes no question
Hell my wife wanted to buy a 358 sonic
I was the one that said no too much
LOL
Yeah and I bought the dining room set and chairs and china cabinet and she bought the 56 inch TV
Something is wrong in my house LOL

The easiest thing to find is fault. Think about it.

Just take her out in some BIG water with the smaller boat and then tell her of a much larger one for sale at a price you can't walk away from. :cool:

For you ladies .... I don't think he wants a girlie boat :D

uhh.....whens her birthday???

SURPRISE :D

"uhh.....whens her birthday??? "

And maybe you could get her one with central Vac, houusehold appliances always go over well as birthday gifts :D:D:D

i did the b-day thing with a vette...didn't work out too well....she TOTALLY knew it was for me...

big water-small boat...then big water in a bigger boat....easy sell every time

Take her to LOTO over Labor DayWeekend. It will scare the crap out of her and she'll be the one sayin' "We need a bigger boat" Then all you have to do is agree:D :D
