Whoa, hold on there "big" boaters...(before somebody sheds a tear)....
Just for the sanity of it all, in a "run what you brung", Let's do a get together for humility's sake...smallest boat/most fun?...I'll run my lil' single OB ..yep, a 1982 Proline cuddy w/ a 150 Evinrude Sport, my buddy Rich will run his CC Edgewater, and Bob and Randy will run their Zodiacs...bet we'll have just as much fun and spend way less on gas! No small boat? Good, It'll force you to meet someone and learn some stuff...

I'm not even sure it needs to be yours.

C.........At 25ft and smaller, boating would be back to reality for sure! No huge gas bills, docking fees, slip fees, ect... Oh, and not full day of washing and buffing, maintenance for twins, and ALL the stress that goes along with worrying about your freakin 38 to 46 ft floating penis! And if you break down in 38 footer, you can BUY a 19 ft boat with the cost of repairing a 600SC .Hahahahaha......... The most relaxing days of boating, for me, were the days of my 24 foot cuddy cabin boat, cause I had not a care in the world!

Hey, just realized I now have over 2000 posts! .....I gotta get a life.

A lot of truth to that! As much as we rib Jeff about his boat, it's a very practical boat (nice avatar Kev!). Something similar with a single 300xs and in the 24-26' range would probably be a ton of worry-free fun. With that said it's not the ego thing that drives me towards a larger boat, it's the fact that I'm sick of getting the crap beat out of me the second the wind kicks up a little. In fact I'm not sure how much more my back can take these days! Honestly, I think something around the 34-36' range is kind of the sweet-spot for our area. Big enough to be comfortable on all but the roughest days, but still trailerable (barely anyway).

You got there a lot faster than me!

What does it say for me with 4500+ posted what a loser....

I hear ya on that one Kreed.

i took that picture in your signature...we just recently purchased a HD1080p video camera...I am sure we will get some great boat action shots this summer. Which I will sell to you for a premium!! jk. maybe i can get into turbo eddies helicopter and do some shooting in the sound!!

What did you get Justin? I have a Go-pro HD, which is great for sports/racing, etc, but it's pretty spartan for anything else.

You're all forgetting, size matters, and women love a 38+ft floating penis...they're attracted to it, bright colors...and they even have names on them...loud noises, we cater to a specific demographic, with large breasts and small brains, so the brighter the colors, louder the boat, the better off we are!

Disclaimer: If you have this logic, you truly are a performance boater...and you are all that is man...The End..

Ha, this was too tempting...

I took this picture in Lake Cumberland Kentucky..yes, that is real beaver pelt...and there is a pirate sea captain on the side giving everyone the shocker salute...I figured everyone would get a kick out of it...
