OH YES I TOO HAVE BECOME ADICTED

What can you say-- We all love the water, playing with the fiberglass, need to polish/wax/clean, complaining that something isn't right, costs too much etc, etc, etc....

I don't have a performance boat like most here -- but I find myself driving at 63 mph-- just to remember the same speed the boat will go!!

Can't wait for spring to show up-- couple more weeks here in Northern Indiana

Hi. My name is Derek and I am a boataholic. It's been nearly 6 months since my last drink of salt water AND I AM GETTING REALLY REALLY THIRSTY!!

Left the hospital the day after my son was born to go put 2 motors in the boat so it could be back in the water Friday. Don't think I fall under "owner" category.

Hello, my name is Randy, and I have a boating problem.
I'm just kidding, I don't think it's a problem.
We call this separation boaters or dockers
My son and I are definitely boaters.
My son is already on the water in TN, I am still waiting for warmer weather in NJ

That's nothing. Both of my kids were born at my boat ramp. Well in the hospital next door but I could see if from my wife's room.
But to the OP's question. I have 4 boats currently, live in this neighborhood because it has a boat ramp, 3 website dedicated to boats, have full size posters of a couple of them on my man cave walls.....I guess you can say I'm into it.

When you have a swim or a bath, do you push the palm of your hand through the water quickly to simulate a boat getting on the plane and do you blow bubbles in the water to make a 'blurting' sound like an outboard working overtime?

Maybe that's just me, I thought I'd grow out of it after half a century!

90+ degree day and 3/4 of the boats are sitting in the marina, I never understood that.
I wake up at the dock and already trying to figure out where I`ll be going that day. Sitting at the dock is not for me. Seems the bigger the boat the less time it spend outside the marina.
If the beach is close I still do a hotlap and come back wishing it was further away.
My rule is never the same place more than 3 weekends in a row.

you my friend might want to seek some professional help,lol.

I have a serious problem. If I'm not on my boat or working on it, I'm on the net looking at boats, and if not doing that, I'm watching Miami Vice episodes with the boat in it. I'm also dreaming about what boat I'd buy if I came into money during the day, and at night dreaming of being on the water. Now on the flip side, my Brother in Law is a boat owner. He's lucky if his boat is in the water by late July. Then he may take a few little rides around the lake, then toss the keys to the marina staff to take his boat out. On a gorgeous wknd, he'll often be out golfing rather than out on his boat. Drives me insane but to each his own. My boat is in the water as soon as the ice melts and stays till the Marina forces me out in the Fall.
