I never had the wants for a sailboat. I prefer powered boats and getting from point A to point B fast. Oil changes are a normal maintainance item for any boater. I always had pretty nice boats. That was why I didn't sink money into a pit. I did however add fishfinders to both boats. My second boat I bought with a cracked block. I paid $3000.00 for it. Put $1500.00 more into it. I used it for 5 years and sold it for $6K. That was a worthwhile investment. I am a day tripper and the boats always were stored in a garage, heated during the off season. They were used during the week and almost every weekend for tubing and skiing during the summer. Both of them even made it to the ocean for fishing and fun in the sun at least 5-6 times during the summer. This boat would be a different story. I plan on dumping it regardless of what the wife wants to do with it. If she wants a bigger boat I will find a way to get a much newer one. It would cost me about 3K to make this one water ready. It is still cheap considering the boat was free. I just have too many projects right now to be messing with this one.

Sold the sailboats and made enough profit to buy the speedboat.Problem around here is enough water to open it up for more than a three minute run.Now...if I were to take it out of what was my bean field and put it in a lake......
