easily... anyone that says different is a tad delusional IMO. We're all one big event from living totally opposite from what we're used to. Do I love boating ? yes, but I could walk away from it today, it would just take something really drastic.

I guess I'll be going against the grain here...my answer is YES. Like ABSOLUTELY yes.

I enjoy going fast powered by myself even more than I like pushing throttles forward...running and biking are the two things I could not live without.

Could you live with out power boating?

I started boating and bought my first boat 30years ago this year, in 1985 I bought a 20ft wellcraft cuddy with a 302 ford motor in it and it was "POS" and broke down a lot of times on the ohio river, but I fell in love with boating back then and have had one off and on since then! So the answer for me would be "NOT NAW BUT HELL NAW TO THE 25 FIFTH POWER AND BEYOND" I will be boating or something water related until I die.....:

And when I die I told my son and daughters to burn my body and go on a cruise and let my ashes blow in the sea....so I can live there forever...... and there I can have the ultimate party....

Yeah, I know, I will eventually lose this battle, but I won't go down without a FIGHT!!
Don't do it! Maybe compromise and get a deck boat. Toons are for folks who live on the water and as a second or third boat. Personally I can't stand them.

I own 2 boats just in case.............. I could never live without it. It's almost all I think about.(ask the wife) It's the only place I feel free. But nothing free about this sport. My Cobra gets about 350 miles a year, motorcycle is lucky to get 150.

Summer is for floating parties, ripping up waves on Lake Michigan for air time, with like minded people.
