Anyone into boating??

[Compunuts]

Lately I'm having the urge of wanting to buy a boat. So started reading a few boating magazines and got even more interested. Anyone into boating or anyone knows a good boating help forums?

TIA

Well, camoflage boats help when hunting. Camoflage boats that float.

Oars help too.


OOOOhhhh, and a motor.


Ummmm and a place for the beer cooler.


Oh and some room for a few fishing rods too. If you got a boat, gotta fish.

Well, I'm not really into fishing but I guess if you got a boat, you gotta fish. Bummer though, they are talking about cancelling Salmon fishing season in this side of the coast.

The last time I went fishing was more than 5 years and then all I did was hold the rod and drink beer. My buddy did all the work such as attaching bait and stuff. Then I moved away from water and I lost contact with that buddy. I moved a few years ago to this town and the next town is going to have boat ramp in a few years (next year they said). So I got into boating fevor again.

I also want a cabin cruiser but I can't afford the new one so I will have to settle for a used one. But a few of my buddies said I won't like sleeping in the water since it's not a very comfortable place to sleep due to tide and wake. So now I'm even more confused.

But I got another guy who just bought another boat which has a small caddy cabin type thing. He boat used to be bowrider without bimini and it looks hot as hell in summer.

If I buy a boat, I will make sure there is plently to space for beer.

Well, anyway, I was just wondering who else is into boating.

I am into drinking beer.

I like boating becuase you can drink beer while doing it.

I know next to nothing about boats. However, I remember seeing this thread on FatWallet. Thought it was interesting.

Very nice thread. Thanks a lot. Now I know more of what to expect and stuff.

Many people on that thread was correct, it may not be financially wise decision. But I still want the boat.

1. I live close to boat lunch (or that they will be building pretty soon, thus my crazy urge) less than 9 miles and 10 minutes drive.

2. Since it will be out to Bay, I will need a good size boat such as cabin cruiser.

3. I need a new car (all my cars can't tow but my wife likes to get a new car to replace her decade old SUV in the near future so it may works out well)

4. I want to buy only used boat (I can't afford a new boat, I saw one in Costco the other day; 24 footer for 97K

5. Although I don't fish, I like to drink beer on the water. All my friends have fishing boats with no bimini tops baking my a55 all day long.

6. I can store at my house even if it doesn't fit in my garage. I have RV space and I have no RV.

7. I want it, damn it!! ...

heheheh ......

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will spend the rest of his life drunk in a boat"
