I've been looking at several boats lately, but my wife knows exactly what our budget is and what we are looking at... And what the operating costs are....

Well it's so much easier now with the interwebz. No one has to even drive to look at something. Before it would be a picture in an ad. Lots if phone calls. The more serious ones would actually come look at it in person. Not no mo.

My wife never saw either of the last 2 boats I bought until they were in the driveway.

I like to set new screen savers of new toys i want to buy
when she goes to computer i usually get OY WHATS THIS !! , oh just looking :-)
trust me you put 5-6 off shore boats scrolling mixed up with family pics they will get seen

I brought home the "Cannon" with another mans wife Airbrushed on the deck, funny enough i think she likes it.

great talking point in OZ

great wife and knows i wont be talked out of new toys

I'm not going back through the post, but I think only one guy said that's why he's not married .The reason my wife and I get along is because in the end ,I am the captain . She knows and accepts that but every marriage is different .I've been married 20 years and counting.

If I didn't have a wife, Phenomenon would be sitting in my driveway tonight....wait...I wouldn't have a driveway because I wouldn't have a nice home!
I would be in an apartment somewhere blowing my money on Jim Beam and silicone filled women.
But now that I think about it......

Growing up in our house, there was an understanding... Dad didn't surprise Mom with new big-ticket items, and Mom didn't surprise Dad with divorce papers.
I'm breaking that vicious cycle, notsomuch brick by brick- more like muscle car by boat by motorcycle.

The problem is some of the guys let these girls take over their lives when they were just dating once they take over control your screwed and spend your life asking for permission, I don't always just buy whatever I want but I certainly don't ask for permission, more of a courtesy, same as I would expect from her.

Bingo! Unless they are a bit shy of the X chromosome, you will have a hard sell beforehand....

If I would listen to mine it probably would have saved me the last 100K that I sunk into it!!

But what fun is THAT!! We work, we play and we DIE___ Party on !!
