[QUOTE="wht93gted, post: 14056269, member: 137363"] I've been around boating since I was a little kid, and still am today. Just get a small boat, the one my parents have is obnoxious, if you ask me. It takes about 6 weekends in the spring to get it ready, and thats only ready enough to go in the water. Once it's in, it's just continuous maintenance all summer long. It burns about $100\fuel an hour, normal parts are stupid expensive once it has the word "marine" in front of it. - Normal hose clamp, $1. - Marine hose clamp, $20 The waxing, painting, cleaning, fueling, etc.... Even using it is an ordeal. Every time they go out, there's the fear of something breaking. 3 times last season we had to pull it out from bending a prop. I'd much rather waste my money on something fun, like vacations. I'm all with the guy who said "get friends who have boats". Then you get to enjoy it, and not worry about it. [/QUOTE]
