It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market
NOYB wrote: "Don White" wrote in message ... Think small No thanks. Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life. You think that because someone has a boat that they really like, although it may be smaller than yours is "unmotivated"? Do you think that just because someone isn't financially overextended is "unmotivated"? I think that people who overextend just for appearances are fools. |

Maybe he was just saying how *he* feels about life, and not passing any judgements on others. Why the attacks?

Here it is, a nice Sunday, lot's of friendly conversation on a range of subjects, and you come in like a rabid pit bull... Why?

He came back with a bit of philosophy to counteract the bit you gave him. He's already bought his boat, so 'thinking small' wouldn't work for this one anyway. Thinking small is what I'm doing for my *next* boat - maybe a 17-18'er. -- ****************************************** ***** Hope your day is great! ***** ****************************************** John |

Thinking small is what I'm doing for my *next* boat - maybe a 17-18'er. It's actually what I'm thinking for my next boat too. Instead of having a 30 foot offshore boat, and 17' nearshore/inshore boat, I'm thinking about buying something in the 25-26 foot range to replace both boats. I could get a trailer for it, and tow it to the keys or the east coast for a change of scenary. |
