Went to the boat show Thursday at noon with my buddy who's up from the
British Virgin Islands.
Seemed to be the same old..same old. Lots of motor boats with only a
small amount of sailboats.You'd think a shift would start after the gas
price scare last year.
I was mostly checking out side console type aluminum boats as an upgrade
from my Yukon 15.
Prices still seem hefty.... at least three times what I paid for the
Yukon. I'd better wait & see what's left in my wallet after I purchase a
new SUV next month.
Just to make it interesting, we had quite a snowstorm that
day...starting as we drove out.
Maybe hold off on the SUV, might be able to get a GM SUV on firesale in a
few months. Maybe 40-50% off MSRP for cash buyers.

Would that come with..or without a warranty? ;-)

Probably without. LOL. Does anyone expect GM to last the year?

But give me a new undamaged not seconds Sierra 3500HD with long box and
leather, Duramax auto and all trailer/towing options in a 4x4 for say $20K I
will live with a 90 day waranty. That way if I need a $10K fix, I am
assured value. Oh, and the wife demands heated seats...

Why does the heating element run right across the ping where the
delicate part of my rear end meets the seat. I refer to the seats as ass
burner seats.

Call it depression pricing. If I had to pay more, would look at a
F350-Lariat. Have a F150-Lariat, nice ride. Because many seem to be on
sacrifice sale right now.

After I refinance the house, for a rediculous interest rate and fold in
the wife's car new car note into the mortgage all the while saving $700
a month in the process, I'm looking hard at a new Mustang. The mid-life
crisis is hitting me a little late in life.

Funny, I agree. But my wife likes her ass roasted warm what can I say? I
never use them myself. But the stipulation was no heater, no leather and I
like leather seats. Easier to clean up compared to peach fuzz synthetics.

I take it you are in rec.boats because you boat. Forget mid-life crisis it
isn't worth it. If it doesn't haul fishing gear, beer, fish and pull a boat
it isn't worth crap. If I could make a decent wage living on a lake, I
would. So moving stuff some distances for me is essential.

I don't believe Bertie (BAR) boats. If he does, he rarely mentions it.
