just remember these words, "buying the boat, is the cheap part"

i wanted to move up, and moved up less than i originally planned too. i'm glad i did. even though we have boated for a long time, you still can't believe the bills and repairs that come up (and i do most of the work myself).

please budget a lot of money for repairs and upkeep (even if you get a brand new boat). and dont forget the crazy gas prices.

i got my bigger boat right when prices when up, and my fuel bill last year was into the 5 digit territory.

did it hurt, yeah it did. but because i bought less boat than i thought i could originally afford (and bought a good used boat), it was manageable.
