Bought a boat today!

[Bryophyte]

Yikes, we bought a boat today! We're going to live on it for two months this summer!

 

[TridenT]

I'm assuming this is a nice boat?

 

[Ballatician]

Is it an oldsmobile?

 

[mozirry]

fishboat or real boat

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

I hope it's not a 23' sportsboat...that could get uncomfortable. Lack of details FTW!

pics? Prices are crazy low right now and you can steal a deal. My friend bought a bank repo boat at an auction for cheaper than what he paid for the motor on his old boat! He's getting it serviced right now so we can go tuna fishing next month.

oldsmoboat?

 

[Squisher]

Man overboard! Er, um, woman overboard!


I must have said that 20 times during a one week cruise with my wife every time she said something I didn't particularly like. Two months and only 22 feet, I doubt I'd make it out of port.

22' Alumaweld Intruder outboard with a locking hardtop cabin. Gonna take them two or three months to build it.

The two happiest days of your life:

1) The day you buy a boat.

2) The day you sell it.

Congrats on your first happiest day.

Two months cruising the Puget Sound/San Juans/Inside Passage/SE Alaska with our two kids.

Those kids are going to be bored out of their f-ing minds.

Yet another one of your useless posts. Boat trips are awesome. You think they spend all that time out on the water? No. Stop in along the islands, camp out, hit the cities along the way for unique foods, etc. Don't forget the awesome scenery you see out on the water you'd never get to experience being land locked.

One of my golfing buddies sold his boat last summer. He was SOOOOOOOOOOO happy, I wasn't. Owning a boat sucks, having a friend that owns a boat rules.

They spend a lot of that time out on the damn water if they are going thousands of miles.

This is a good place to visit.
Sucia Island state park
I sailed in there with my bro and could not believe how beautiful it was. Years later I started flying into Orcas Island airport, and there it was right off the approach. Good times. I kicked around the San Juans quite a bit, keep me posted.

You bought new?

There are a ton of good used boats around the country you could buy for probably half the cost of a new boat.

Yeah, it makes no sense... So many people are selling their boats and expensive stuff...

Sure, if you're looking for a shitty fiberglass boat. A good used aluminum boat will run almost as much as a new one.

a boat is a hole in the water in which one pours money.

What's wrong with fiberglass? My Mom owns this boat which was built in 1982 out of fiberglass. You could easily circumnavigate the globe on that boat. She lived on it on the Hudson river in upstate NY for many years and sailed it from there down to South America and back and extensively in the Bahamas.

Granted I don't know squat about powerboats but I do know sailboats and fiberglass has been used to make some of the finest mono-hull sailboats for many decades.

Congrats on the new boat though. I'd love to see pics of it or of something similar to what you purchased. :beer:

Should have picked the Mystery Box.

It could be anything.

Even a boat.

Congrats. Make sure you take a lot of pictures to share when you do take your little cruise.
