Hello : The wife told me to go live my dream and buy my speedboat @ 53 you need to do it now so we can enjoy it before its to late 1998 32' fountain twin 502 .in the last 3 years we have put over 120 hours on it. Living in Magnolia Texas we get to use it as often as we can.Life is to short what ever it cost to run is OK with us to enjoy each others company. Before that we had a 2000 Rinker 232 enjoy Safe boating John

Same here...but I didn't even make it a few months. lol.
Sold my 288 Sunsation in August with the intention of buying a certain boat...deal fell thru, was absolutely zero on the used market I was interested in that I could afford....got frustrated....bought a Jeep with the intention of playing with that instead of boats for a couple years...first nice day, I had that longing feeling of loss in the pit of my stomach thinking of going a single summer without a rig....sold the jeep....boat shopping again
I'm a broke-dick though, looking at 10+ year old boats...but at least I'm moving up a couple years, and couple feet from where I was!
