Well, the check for my big boat should be here FRIDAY..!!!

so, the wifey says we can get a river boat (and an Rv and sand toys..!!

so... where to start..? :stupid

another fast boat, more suited for the river.. :bebe

or a party pad... :beer

or a twin engine seadoo..

house boat.. :sleep

i dont feel like having to wrench on one all the time... :beat

looking for low mx, all around fun... best suited for easy operation.. comfort... (shade :beer

)

if YOU could start over fresh... with what you've experienced
at the river... what would YOU chose... ???

ok, so i cant go 90 or 140... :plane

but... when i'm doing 70, i dont have to worry about a canoe's wake bouncing me around :bebe

i guess the big boat will be just fine.
its all good, having the cabin for a little "privacy"

right...

and that cuts down on the extra "drama"...

why is it, that the "leaches" are most likely to be the troublemakers on a boat outing...???

i guess they just dont have that "patients" that comes with years of boating... (waiting for the dumbass's at the ramps, etc...)

some people just have to be the center of attention where ever they go... but then... some of them SHOULD be... :love

i swear, i am going to pass the hell out, the FIRST time someone EVER offers to help clean up the boat...

not ONE single time in my 15+ years owning my own...
have i had ANYONE offer to do more than take a bag of trash for me....
and that was the hot chick at the marina that pumps my gas.
