My decision about the whole boat thing is to put three-quarters of the money I used to spend on the boat in a year into a bank account and then rent a boat whenever I want one. You know what? There's always money left over at the end of the year.

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.
I have always had boats in the family growing up, and I know that should ALWAYS be part of the equation. Funny how non boat owners can't even fathom the cost of fuel. They just think it uses fuel like a little motorcycle or something. Then again before I thought about a dry suit I would have never believed they were as expensive as they are....guess what?!
I just finished mounting the trailer hitch on the tow vehicle today, tomorrow I will do the electrical harness. Hopefully I will be out on the water before the weekend is out!
But where are the pictures!!!???
