Just getting ahead of the curve. It's spring. Boys think of love. Men think of boats. What kind of boat do you really need? There are lots of knowledgeable people here to help you make that decision.

I’m thinking I’ll put the little 12’ tinny up for sale next month. 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.

I need this one. Saw it at the docks in Auke Bay AK. Fishermen friends of mine told me they thought they saw Kid Rock and some babes come off it. As in 3 babes on his arms. https://www.yachtcharterfleet.com/luxury-charter-yacht-22238/utopia.htm

They say the two greatest days in a boat owner's life are the day he buys his boat, and the day he sells it.

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.

Got my canoe for family camping trips, a 1980 bass boat 17' w/35hp 1980 Evinrude for lakes and rivers, a 1957 alumacraft model F 13'11" that was my grandpa's, and a little 12' johnboat w/9.5hp 1980 Johnson for the Bayou.
They all still work like new and ready to play any ole time...

Bought this new last fall for walleye on the Bay. It has since received a kicker. 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.

I feel a great loss. My BBF just lost everything in a fire, Covid related, and I would like to help home out. 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.... Bought this new last fall for walleye on the Bay. It has since received a kicker. 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.
