As me and my family were at the lake today, we realized how families were having fun on little power boats.....After asking around, I come to realized the are really inexpensive and more "enjoyable" for the whole family...
So I hate to do it, but will sell my car for only 4K. It's having some "smoking/compresiion" issues now, the first gear is out, but other than that looks good, interior is great.... There are some rust areas, but not as bad as others. It's the same car in avatar. thanx for all your support....will post pictures tomorrow. fat lando |

Having recently sold my Chris Craft I think maybe I can chime in here with both knowledge and experience. I recently lived on a large lake in central Mass. 5 month boating season at most. Let's see 1500 average yearly maitenance, 1200 dock fee's, plus the cost of having to own something to tow it with along with insurance and registration. After several years it came down to a either keep spending the money on a boat or find a different "family" hobby. We cycle together now and I get to spend more money on the garage and the p-cars. I'm gonna finish remodeling the house and garage and am ahead of schedule to get the paint and flares done during the winter.
A choice for the family is never a bad choice. However, research it carefully so far everyone has given you great advice. Buy larger then you think you'll need. Lakes get kinda boring after awhile. If your gonna alternate between salt and fresh water make sure that your flushing for a little longer then you would normally. The hole in the water analogy is very accurate. I will eventually own another boat, but for now I'm spending my money on the hosue and cars. Good luck! Mike D. |
