    Boats are great for fishing and if you get a strong enough engine (like 20 HP at least) then you can water ski. Also the idea of free lobster and crab dinners is appealing.

          the internets are telling you not to buy a boat --

          the happiest day in the life of a boat owner? the day he sells his boat.

              Alot of the pain goes out of boat ownership if you only pay a grand for it.

              Oerdin, I think there's a Craigs List for boats. Classifieds are better because they are local boats. Just keep watching the classifieds. Boats might get more expensive when spring comes.

                I guarantee you, with the money you pay for a boat you can get FAR more lobster than you'd ever want. It's dirt cheap these days.

I thought Craig's List put them all out of business. ) There were only a few fishing boats listed but there was a 20 year old 17' with twin outboards for just $3500. It seems boats lose value faster then even cars. Of course the question is where the hell would I store it as it's to big for my garage and the H.O.A. gets whiny about stuff like this.
                  Its a boat, stick it out back and throw a tarp over it.

                  You should offer $2000 if you are interested. If they don't take it, somebody will on some boat.

                  Are you in a rush Oerdin?

                      Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
