What kind of boat do you really need? There are lots of knowledgeable people here to help you make that decision. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

It’s a fine little pond boat but a bit small for the boys and I. At 7 and 4yo, it’s only gonna get worse. Lol. Gives me a bit of the willies taking them in the sound with it. Couple big boat wakes at the wrong time and she’d be sunk. I love my old 233 Formula, but it’s old, the Alpha needs some work and the trailer needs replaced. It’s a fine big water boat but Id like to get the boys on skis before long. Far from ideal for that. Smart move would be to sell both and get something 22”Ish made in the last decade or so with good power. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

That boat is a full time job for several people. Likely several, several people. Quote Special Features The yacht, manned by 16 to 18 crew, has an impressive audio-visual entertainment system, a state-of-the-art integrated bridge and a helicopter pad with refuelling facilities. The rich can afford these things, because like some of their extra homes, they are turned into a business. Utopia leases out at $435K a week in winter. Approximately $535K a week in summer according to that website. I think prices are lower than when I looked a few years back, likely because business is suffering from The Corona.

I bought this new a few years back for inland lakes or unimproved launches. Both boats serve their purposes great. The older I get, the more I like to be out on the water with my family and friends.

First off, he'll really feel better with a new boat, like the top one please. I suppose living at the lake I will need one someday, but, for now I just want him to be able to fish....
