And it's not a matter of being a cheapskate, it's a matter of having the money to spend, or the credit. I've been pouring money into my boat, trailer and truck all winter to make it as safe as possible. Middle of last summer that wasn't an option because i was pouring money into a blown motor and $3 a gallon gas. Not everyone here can afford a $300k boat and a $50k truck.

Not to be a troublemaker, if he can afford it that sounds like a plan. But that sure ain't cheap.

Boating is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
So many people on this board have way too much money. Just because i'm not loaded doesn't mean i'm not good enough to boat.
