LOL, That sounds about right, BUT.... Now that I have already paid for it, I will use it a lot. If I had to rent, I would most likely not go out often if at all. I don't know how much they charge for boat rentals where you live, but to rent a boat similar to the one I bought is $375/day plus fuel. Each day is like a monthly boat payment, so 12 times per year and you own the boat. Plus you can't sell a rental boat after you decide you no longer want it. Of course there are other costs involved, but my payment is not going to be nearly that much.
