If it was me... The 70 mile commute would be why I wouldn't do it. Not all the other stuff. 10 miles per gallon as long as its a flat ride = 14 gallons x 4.00 = 56.00 per trip. + bait, food, more gas. Your talking over a c note per trip easy for not much fishing when it's all said and done.
The other stuff I would figure out. But I also don't make great decisions when I really want something.

I hear that! I did fing a nice rack storage place higher up in the CT river, which is much closer to my house. It's a good place to do the skiing/tubing/swimming/picnic thing. That may be a good bet for a few years... |

I have owned a boat for three years now. My kids are now 11 and 9. Some of our best memories as a family have been created while on that boat. Whales at Stellwagen, beaching on Naushon Island etc. I say do it.
Like others have said the only tough part will be the commute to get there. If this boat is exactly what you want then pull the trigger.

I hear you!
I am fortunate in that my wife also loves to boat. I am also fortunate in that my wife understands that it really pains me to not have a boat, and she knows I don't have any other vices (I don't gamble, rarely drink, don't play golf, don't watch football on TV), etc...SO she gets that there are worse things than having a hubby who likes to boat and fish.
I found out as an adult that I really love fishing and boating...I didn't grow up with it, no one in my family likes boating or fishing. I'd love to give my kids that opportunity to grow up with it... |

That's my defense too! I always say, "Hey I could be in a back alley looking for crack" I've got other way worse "could be's" but I think they might get edited |
