Boat payments cover quite a few guided trips per year. Fact. Most of my regular customers are older, expert fishermen who no longer want to deal with the issues that come with boat ownership. That's true, Meat is also cheaper at the store than hunting for it. Just sayin.  I own my boat free and clear, we fish often enough that we'd go broke hiring a guide every time. all depends on perspective and how much one uses their stuff.

I tell people that they need a boat if they're gonna use it more than a couple of times a month. Otherwise, they need a good guide.

I have an 18' Maycraft CC with 115 Yamaha 4S that I use to hunt and fish out of (green hull). As my boys are growing and getting bigger, I'd really like a 22-24' bay boat and a 16' jon boat. A man really needs 3 or 4 boats to do everything. Every boat is a compromise somewhere whether it be draft, size, layout, etc.

I love threads like this. And of all the stuff I have, I might love my boat the most. If something happened to it, I'd turn right around and buy the same thing all over again.
