A sports store in a town about 90 miles north of here keeps sending me
promos, after I entered a contest a year ago at the boat show.
This week they sent info on the Legend 15' All Sport at $10,999. + rigging &
taxes. This boat would be ideal for me... with a walk through windshield,
an included camper top and trailer...... but only a 20 hp Mercury 4 stroke
outboard.
I sent an e-mail back asking what the total would be all in if i upgraded to
a 30/35 hp outboard.
By the time they added in shipping, galvanized trailer upgrade, bigger
motor, accessory pkg the boat was up to $16800 + 15% tax... total around
$20K.
I told the guy.. forget it... I'll just order the side console option for
my Yukon and live with that.
Heck... if I didn't mind joining a club, I could get a pretty nice sailboat
for that much dough.

For other than the tiniest of boats, boating has become a rich man's
pastime. If it weren't for free launch ramps, you'd probably be out of
the game by now.

Who says you " have " to buy new? I bought a 40 year old Boat complete
with trailer, and 1 foot pine tree, growing in the cockpit.
Now that I've put a little time,planning and effort into it, I've got
a Boat that gets me out there, and back, uses little fuel ( 1 barrel
on a V6) , and will tackle the toughest weather you could imagine. I
replaced the windshields during the winter.
Mahogany pedestals are being made by another friend (a Cabinet Maker )
and go in when I open the Boat. Last step, is to re-paint it at my
buddys Body Shop, and it'll look just spiffy.

Pick one up for $3800 at a boat/bankruptcy auction.
