You want a 42' boat....I want a 30'-32' now after now owning my 36'. Does that make you better in any way shape or form? Give you the right to bash or look down on someone? I would say no, it is just we see things differently.

If I could keep my sonic but by some magic trick get what I want out of a boat do you. Not think I would?

I own a loud 7.3 diesel Excursion, I also have a very loud Harley I am rebuilding currently, my boat is loud as well. But now I want O/B's on a boat and some how to some I am losing man cred....that part is sad.


Also yes, me at 32 and you are 34 are very much a youth in this type of boating.

I have had lots of fun, when I was 28 I had no kids, could take off to Vegas with buddies in a day's notice and do just about anything within reason. Years later, I don't want all my money back........just 1/2! You can always spend the money later, you just can't always put it away later!

Now 2 kids, need braces (5K each), $200 goes no where with school supplies and other nonsense, kids are tearing through $75 sneakers seems like every other month....heck just going out to dinner is $75+ at a regular place like Outback. Neighbor's kids are into horses.....thank God my kids could care less, Mr. Ed is killing their family budget!

My dad was notoriously cheap, as a kid we never had cable TV, rarely went out to dinner (like once a month at Sonny's BBQ) and now as an adult I get aggravated paying for stuff my father never did......even just cell phones/cable/internet add up to thousands of dollars a year and over a lifetime it is serious money. I went to Atlantis in the Bahamas last month, it cost me 6K in 4 days! My dad never spent 6K in his life on a family vacation! Now granted the kids rented jetskis, swam with dolphins etc and had a great time and I didn't expect it to be cheap but the Bahamas isn't that great! Out of principle, I felt Atlantis was just gouging you for everything so despite walking through the casino daily I didn't wager a single dollar in there figuring no need to give them any more money than I was already spending!

Now I'm not saying go full on "Ted Kaczynski" and live in the woods ranting about the world but reel it a little, as you get older you will appreciate the money even more!

My dad has a 302 scarab. Older but a good running boat. No way in hell I'd get one of those and not own a I/O boat. I'd have a center console as a second boat not my primary. However until I find and buy the 42 I want I will use the hell out of it when I stop being busy with all this schooling.
