Its funny, about 20 years ago I wrecked a boat hitting a submerged object. Bought another boat and had them side by side in the driveway transfering parts from one to the other and this little kid stops at the end of the driveway and says, "are they both your boats?" "I said ya and he said, "man you must be rich". We all lived in the same townhouses and his parents had a Harley,couple cars, vacationed all the time, etc, etc and the 2 boats, one worthless and the other I just paid 800 bucks for and I was the rich one???? Go figure.

Having fun.

Trade those three horses in for 1300 horses . :cool-smiley-011:

You gotz 4 boats you are a Zillion Aire

No that just means he is broker then the rest of us that only have one. Lol

It will be kinda like riding a horse just on water

Funny what cranehill said about the guys with the big boats kinda being pricks! I have always had some sort of a hot rod 'either a lifted truck or jeep or mustang or drag bikes and i loved talking shop with people at the gas stations or cruise nights but for as friendly as everyone brags about there fellow boater is.... Which in general is true it's the guys that have the really nice super cat boats that seem to draw the line! One time this summer while at the shoot out poker run at one of the stops I was on the dock tying up and some fat old ass hole who just got of an extreamly nice MTI, I won't mention the boat was walking by with same ragged looking chick and says cute little cat.... I looked right at both of them and asked "what kind of cat did you have when you were 29? :-)

It's all about priorities, Go to your local sports bar and see how many of the younger generation are sitting at the bar watching sports. Boating involves a lot of money and time. In my case i did not even get into boating till 07 with a friend but the wife grew up with boats , I was into drag racing , muscle cars and sportbikes . In 09 which I was 39 we bought a 288 for are first boat just as the boating ind was taking a crap but got a pretty good deal, did a few things to it and used it ( no major problems). We came across a good deal on a 32 this summer and bought that so now I had 2 sitting behind the house but luckily the 28 sold in 2 weeks.The 32 is far more work in general and I think some get tired of it. I would say by far the best bang for the buck are motorcycles, never get dirty easy on fuel and low maintenance. Since I have recently taken over the family business and time is short on it but when we use it its moving and not tied up somewhere. With only 5 months to use the stuff around here the stuff is mainly dust collectors.
