under warranty!

thanks in advance,

Did you get a hard-on bragging about this? Did this statement make
your small penis seem bigger?
Rich ****s like you that spend a quarter million on a boat, make me
sick.Help the poor asswipe....then MAYBE you'll be rewarded after
death. Actually, I hope the ****er sinks as soon as you cast off!
Your probably another ****stain who hides money offshore so he wont
have to pay tax on it, aren't you?
Another economy raping CEO probably.

Your Worst ****ing Nightmare


Get real.

This is 2007, not the 1950's. Scrimping and saving to spend $250,000
on a boat doesn't put anybody into the "rich ***k" category. Hate to
break it to you, but $250,000 is not much money in this day and age.
2-3 times the price of a luxury car, or about a year's income for a
family with two breadwinners in upper-middle management at decent
jobs.

Spending a year's income on a boat is not ridiculous,..snip

=======================================

The only new boat we purchased was our Chris Craft 210 Scorpion and I only
did so as the dealer was bankrupt and going out of business.........after 3
years of use I sold the boat for more than what I paid for it.

Since then I have never purchased a brand new boat as there are too many
negatives (mainly financial) by doing so, including initial depreciation,
working out the new boat problems, outfitting it, etc, etc, etc. There
are far too many 2-4 year old quality boats on the market offering far
better deals for me to again consider buying new.

I understand that there are many folks who need to buy *new* and respect
their decision........in fact I applaud those buying new boats as it
broadens the market for us *used* boat buyers. ;-)

Damn...........it is still snowing..........................
