Well John, I'd say they've lost interest in boating, in favor of some other pursuit.



I would say that's probably a very true statement. For the money that little boat I had was costing

- depreciation, insurance, maintenance, storage, etc., I can rent a boat for several weeks a year.

Having an extremely handy storage place, like your driveway, would tend to make boating a more

frequent activity.



The last time I sold a boat, I waited about 15 years before getting another. Who knows, maybe this

time it'll be only ten years. We're already planning a weeks vacation with the grandkids at Smith

Mountain Lake next July. I'll rent a pontoon boat for the week or maybe a ski boat.

Of course, if you're not using it, it's best to sell off a depreciating asset.

Talk about a guy who can't see the hand in front of his face. Your ever
so lightly used vehicle and seldom, if ever, used boat fall neatly into
that category. Sell em both. Take a cab. Rent a boat. Use the money you
save to fix up your house.

Here's a rig that shouldn't intimidate the growing group of boatless posters in here.

Do you think those who are currently boatless are so because they're intimidated by boats?

Donnie's going to use that setup to learn how to backup before he
tackles backing his monster rig.
