buy a boat

Boating = FUN.

The other evening on the way home from a weekend away, my wife tells me that she wants me to have a boat. I think I am going to shoot for accomplishing this goal by next summer.

I put this on my list last year, and haven’t checked it in a while. Well, I bought a boat last September, and it’s the MOST FANTASTIC purchase I ever made. I love our boat! We go out to islands and sand bars. Regular beaches are pretty dumb to us now! It’s so fun and tubing is great too.

It’s not really that expensive. Promotes self sufficiency – you’d better learn to operate it correctly, where to go, and how to fix it or you’re better off buying a ticket for a boat trip. Anybody who can afford a new car can get their old car fixed and buy a modest boat. Even a canoe is somehow very comforting and calming to me – it doesn’t have to be big or fast. Check Craigslist for bargains. Find a friend who’s willing to help you with it if you’re new to it.

I would like to have a Yamaha Jet boat!

Best boat for the money.

lost interest in boating

I want to add “find my dream job” instead which is waaaay more important, it will lead me to buying a boat :)

You don’t have to be rich or spend your future on sailing.

I’m into my 3rd sailboat (C&C27), and am actually money ahead. By buying older boats carefully, avoiding spending like crazy on new “toys”, and selling them carefully, I’ve actually made a modest profit.

Not that I’m leaving my day job! But who wouldn’t want a wonderful, nourishing, healthy hobby that doesn’t cost anything!

I don’t need a monster I just want a boat to relax and enjoy and take the family out on…it’s perfect!
