Congratulations. Boats are so much fun, I love being out on the water. I just sold a 2003 Tige 22ve that I had for 6 years. At least my friend bought it so I can still take advantage of using it. They say a friend with a boat is better than owning one because you get to use it minus all the expenses. What's been said before, Boat stands for "bust out another thousand". It's still a blast to own one. What lakes do you plan on using?
