Let me enlighten you for a minute.
If you think you're in it for the long haul (boat ownership) which most are not!!
More boats do a lot of sitting around, than ever getting used. Just pay attention to a local boat yard, marina, or backyard....''near you'', and you'll see.
The novelty of boat ownership is one that wears out very, very fast.
-you need a tow vehicle
-it's a equipment 'heavy' activity
-add in fishing, and you just doubled the equipment ''heaviness''!
-storing a boat properly, means ''doubled the expense'', if you don't have room.
-everyone is now your friend. But all your new friends are ''broke''.
-most people can't enjoy boating, alone. They need people to go ''with'' them.
-it's like having a in the ground pool at home. Doesn't increase any value to your wealth.
- I could go on and on and on...
If you keep up with anything I do here on my reports blog, or via my Youtube channel, or Twitter writings. (I have no clue to who visits all these. I JUST DO IT! and hope for the best. )
I know my customers barely look at any information I give freely.
You'll know that before and since Hurricane Irma, all kinds of boat related things have happened to me.
-Suzuki water pump
-fuel water separator changeout
-leaking fuel tank
-all new trailer tires
as a few examples.
