EASY there oprah--- I never said I "put" women in thier place. I love and respect all women. But just to hear someone mutter the phrase "the wife said no" in regards to purchasing a powerboat is just extremely painful to hear. I could just never imagine taking my wifes input on a powerboat seriously. A cruiser is a different story, but as I stated before this is not baylineronly.com now is it???

I take everything my wife has to say seriously. This is mostly due to the fact that she is much smarter than I am (getting a phd and all!). I'm sure the reason that Pat and others such as myself welcome input from our wives on these types of purchases is due to the fact that we want our wives to spend time on the boat. My 24 is for sale and we are purchasing a larger boat solely because my wife is not comfortable in the big waves in our small boat. I can either tell her it isn't her decision to make and go boating without her, or I can work with her until we find a boat that both of us will enjoy and want to spend time on. In the end, doing it my way, we will both be happy. If you don't care to spend the time with your family on the water, then obviously your approach works well for you.
Sorry for Hijacking Pat. I can stop if you want me to. Maybe ask your wife if I should

I have to tell you that my wife has many more year of performance boating experience than you and could likely throttle a boat better than you have dreamed of. Many times, my wife ran our twin engine Cig home when had I tilted a few too many.
That said, her opinion as my co-captain on the water and in life is one that I do value. We have 2 children and a boat with a larger cockpit and cabin than a 26' Joker/Corsa is a very reasonable request.
