Yeah, its a tough thing about boating is the cost!, I have the choice between my fathers 26' and my 13' when I go out, and except for blackfishing in the late fall/winter, I almost ALWAYS take the little boat, no fuel, no extra work, just jump in, yank the starter and go.. funny cause a few years ago, all I wanted to do was go bigger and farther offshore... occasional trips are fun, but everyday/week with 60 mile runs... nah... I'll stay inshore... I'm sure as long as I can afford it, I'll have some kind of boat, but my guess is it will always be on the small side... besides, by the time you retire, all the old Egg's will be gone and the new ones are production crap... give me a Bertram anyday of the week... out and back in a hurricane lol, although a pretty Jim Smith, G&S or Rybo wouldnt be bad...
If I had been single when I graduated college I probably would have gone the route you just mentioned Eben, travel working on a yacht or something, make my ticket earn me a livin, not just be a side job, but.......... life is still good....
