I'm surely in the minority here because I now own my first boat and although I have fun with it, I know if I were without it I would miss it a few key moments throughout the year but I wouldn't miss it too much. As long as I can take something apart, put it back together and it operates, I'm good, and that has now been done. I do understand because I have other interests that I would have a tough time living without.

I am sure that I could if I had to, however if the question was "Could I live without powersports"? then I would have to say hell NO!

I am 47 and have ridden motorcycles since I was 5. I'm on my second performance boat and my custom Harley has been sitting in my den since 2007. I never thought I would loose interest in riding motorcycles but I have for the past few years. I think the need for speed will pass in time, but, I have lived on the same lake my entire life and couldn't imagine life off of the lake with no boat.

quitter,,take your boat and go get yourself another girlfriend.and when that one starts to squack,,getin your boat and get another girlfriend,,always upgrade once in a while.newer models always seem to a vast improvement over the last.

First let me say that I would be hard pressed not to be on the water - I really enjoy it

-- However, it's ok to have "things" as long as the "things" don't have you!!

It's just a boat

I could. Outside of the boat I gave all the other sh*t up. I enjoy going and watching the show but I am over the headache of owning it, the boat is enough of that for me.

Once that is gone I will focus on buying and redoing my home. I left all the cars, bikes, and what not in the past for the most part these days

I am waiting for Frickstyle's comment.... I was pretty much out of boating will working on mine for 4 yrs... It sucked not being on the water but I was happy to look at one! Short awnser, no, I could not live without boating... However this place does greatly help fill the void when needed!
