Yep, put myself on a budget... $900 is $900 I don't care how much anyone makes.

I wonder when Crayola boats with bandaid interiors will look dated? Kinda like Pink Apaches of the 80's-90's.

I was lookin for my crayons.

No way it's easy. Buy a house on the water and you'll still blow the budget.....buy a house on the water and put a pool between your back door and the boat....no more gas budget problems There was an article in Power&MotorYacht about it, its called a "pool sandwich". I'm telling you, when I walk out my back door I look at the boat and say to myself "Nah, not worth taking the cover off." I'll have my cell, my wallet and sun glasses on all ready to go for a ride too. I just drop everything on the table and go into the pool.

When I kept a boat at the marina I was putting 180 hours of run time every year on the boat. Now, lucky if its 18. Gas was just over $1 a gallon back then too.

If you really want to fix it, then put a project boat in your garage and you don't even see the boat....or.....the pool....or.... the wife.

You just told the wife where to find you and you didn't even realize it. Not to smart.

Nah, she is pretty well trained. The only time you find her in the garage is when she needs to get the lawn mower out
