He ran them off with his charismatic attitude before he reached 30.

BTW....All my 50+ YO friends can out party your young whippersnapper a$$ and we have the $$$$$$ to do it.

LoL, not to mention, what you kids think is cool, we did over a decade ago.

Lots of good points here but also remember the thread I started a few months back along the line of 500K to spend on a boat. Buy it, run/insure/maintain it for 5 years and then you get to keep the change left over when you sold it............it was a decent length thread and not one person picked buying a new boat (not even with free money!).

I guess you are right but eventually you will get back the broke and wanted by the law Beiber.

Also consider, places like LOTO are hot for offshore boats right now........kind of like S. FL in the 80's. Then noise restrictions, slower speeds were enacted, costs to insure/store those boats in S. FL got ridiculous and suddenly "go fast sightings" (outside of a poker run) have become like UFO's/Bigfoot sightings!

I was out on the ICW yesterday, area was having a boat parade that night so lots of boat traffic. Saw a really clean 24 Pantera (w/single Yamaha OB) and a 34 Sunsation CC.......that was it for performance boats.

Sounds like the Chicago boat show except without the Pantera and Sunsation lol

Count the body's in that tub..actually it's a very nice boat..Today that's the way they roll. After 40 yrs on the water ive seen many changes in habit's..

all about the money . i got my first boat at 21 first fast boat at 26 i think . boats were high on my priority list though.

The boat parade here in Port Orange ( South of Daytona ) had No performance boats

I had a house in Ormond Beach and never saw performance boats unless it was a holiday weekend or poker run!
