You said a mouthful there.

The most fun I ever had in a boat, was as a kid. Dad bought a used tri-hull (split-window) made in the 70's. It had a Johnson 60hp that would jerk a 240lb. man up on one ski. We fished and skied until I got out of high school and he sold it. My friend had the same cheap used boat.

Since then, I've bass fished with friends in 45,000 dollar boats, and they are wonderful. But we don't go every week like we once did. I go once a year if I'm lucky.

Kids need love and your time so bad. The price of your toy really won't matter.
