Then you can get a real boat, too.

That seems like a big expense for a retired working class hero who
enjoys a short 4-5 month boating season..

A couple of thoughts:

1. *A 4WD pickup truck gets through snow better than just about
anything else on the road.

2. *You could get a cuddy cabin runabout in the 24 ft range that would
keep you relatively warm and dry in a chop, and give you a fairly
decent ride.

3. *With a proper tow vehicle you could go south to Florida in the
winter.

Would I have to worry about getting 'shot' if I dare look at someone's
car?
True story... a working mate of my wife was visiting friends in
Florida. The host insisted that the Halifax lady's boyfriend 'borrow'
his handgun if he planned on driving around on his own.

Oh, bull****. Unless you guys up there are just scared chickens. I've
been all over Florida cities and never worried.

Don't look at anyone's car...especially the Little Toad's in Connecticut.

I wouldn't buy a vehicle that burns a dollar's more fuel than you need
for everyday vehicle use. **** the oil companies.

If you really want to **** the oil companies sell all of your gas using
cars, appliances, etc. Didn't you claim to recently buy a much bigger
boat?

Not a good idea without a Florida Concealed Carry Permit.

The plan was to keep the handgun in the car glovebox. Is a concealed
permit required for that?
