I have an addiction, are there any support groups like boaters anonymous?

They say good things come in threes so why not have three boats at a bare minimum. Family and friends don't understand but I know all of you OSO members do. Just added another to my collection (its for my 14 year old son so that justifies it) and always looking for that next great deal. Never thought I'd own a Bayliner but I love this thing. Gonna throw my "spare" 150 Optimax on her and then I won't get passed by a fat girl in a kayak.

1000,
I understand, I have the same boat collection disease!! AND I'm looking at add a 35-36 cat to add to our fleet! But I think it's going to cost me a kitchen remodel! :)

Dean Ferry, I didn't think Mystic made a 35-36 cat.....�� you should talk John into it!

111s,
I've seen Mystic 32 Cat O/B renderings.... That's all I can say...:) And the unfortunately, as much I admire Mystic's engineering and performance, my wallet can't quite swing it yet...... Wonder if anyone won the powerball last night! :)

I didn't win either! Otherwise my offshore addiction would be worse!
I'll post pics of my Mystic later, it's a little different then last time you seen it Dean....

IT IS NOT AN ADDICTION -- It's just a focus of resources e.g. time, money, passion

I could think of worse

Your are a member of a support group. An we all help as much as we can. But this is not a stop group. This is a we will see you on the water group. Lol

My problem is that I have this same problem with snowmobiles too. I am slowly weening myself off of those though as I used to have 11 of them and I am down to three but buying a new one here in the next month. Currently have a couple vintage sleds and a 500+ hp lake race turbo. Boats are my first love though. Just finishing a complete repower and paint on the Fountain, pulling the 150 Opti off of the Seebold and putting it on the center console, and painting the Seebold and putting a recently purchased 300+ hp Merc 250, new guages, and hydraulic steering on it. Hoping for mid 90's from the Fountain, 105+ for the Seebold, and a screaming 50 mph for the center console.
