Anyone know anything about boats?

[RALPHIE]

After having owned offshore boats for years.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A SAIL BOAT

I totally agree - the fuel cost for a 40'-50' offshore rig is about equal to a the lawyers' fees in a divorce (daily). And, I doubt if the wife would enjoy the pounding when truly putting it through it's paces. Hell, most men can't take it (If you do, get some life vests from Lifeline!! - and kidney belts)

A used sailboat would be a much better investment (never buy a new one - I think they lose half their purchase price in the first year). They have plenty of room and are much better for hosting dockside parties.

I never owned a sailboat, but have plenty of friends that do....

Stand, fully dressed, under your shower at home with the water on cold - . Whilst being soaked, get out a wad of $100 bills, tear these up - maybe tear up 50 of them to begin with.

Do it each day for two weeks

If you really enjoyed it - get a boat. :biggrin

There's another old saying 'if it flies, floats or f**ks- rent it'!

Absolutely!! Right On! - Take it from a boat owner....

I'm still laughing from Neil's advice! You gotta love this forum.

Another Money Pit

I don't know a damn thing about boats.

David,

Just think of boats as horses WITHOUT fur.

Just another MONEY PIT.

Neil - I've got two boats and two horses. How many bills should I tear up during my shower?

I recently took the big leap from a 24' Chris Craft to a
70' House Boat on a Lake. Best relaxation & fun i've had in a long time. I didn't know i had so many friends. I didn't buy groceries or beer all summer. Look at many boats. Decide how you want to use it, then buy it...

What is the exact location of the boat Frank and when will you be there? Your friend, Chris

Ralphie,
Nice ski hydro... I had one of those,... a long time ago, 1971 or so.. Sangar with a big block Chev and tunnel ram, which got swapped out for Hilborn injectors.

Hey Ralphie, is the headband to keep your hair out of your eyes?

1) It's a '72 Sanger - was originally a 20' blown fuel hydro; converted the intake to a Crower mechanical fuel injection last year - no current pictures.

2) What hair?? It's a backwards visor to look cool :banana (actually to keep from flying off)

All of them. Also ask your charming wife to kick you in the butt, really hard, a couple of times.

This has nothing to do with boats or horses, I just quite like the thought of you being kicked in the butt.

Your wicked! :lol

BTW let's not make fun of those more follicularly challenged .. some of us resemble that remark. :bored

Being one of those said persons I prefer to think of it as being more aerodynamic !
