Van, I know what you mean about the boat.

two years ago, I bought my uncle's 16' aluminum bass tracker. In '85, my dad and uncle got matching boats with 18hp mercs. I remember thinkin' they were such nice boats and were really fast.

We grew up fishing in flat bottom john boats with my grandpa's 6hp johnson.

Anyway, when my dad started to make some money at the end of the 80's, he graduated to some bigger bass boats. My uncle kept his and bought a whaler.

I used my uncle's boat more than he did and used it for tournaments and stuff and when he decided to get rid of it, I grabbed it off him quick. I absolutely love that boat and did pretty well out of it on the harbor when I finally got the guts up to take it out last season.

But now I have the Logic and I really don't need two boats. It only costs me $50 a year to keep it, but my wife wants me to get it out of the garage. I agree. I entertained thoughts of fixing it up better for saltwater use and keeping it at my mom's new house down in Eastham, but with the twins coming, I can't really justify dropping any money into it.

I think I'm gonna try and sell it, but it turns my stomach... know what I mean.
