[Mac_Attack]

Money is a medium of exchange. *If you do nothing with it life becomes bland. *Buy a new boat $40,000.00 and you'll still be putting money into it. *I'm sure we all have had fun and many memories for the dollars spent. *If you did not have it to spend I'm sure you wouldn't. *Bill Mc * ;D

[macojoe]

If you did not have it to spend I'm sure you wouldn't. Bill Mc

I LOVE BOATS LOL

[reelapeelin]

In '99 when I 1st put mine together, I saved all reciepts...never added 'em up... ;D...

[Pipe_Dream]

I did, for insurance purposes! ;) I bought a stated value policy, so all the $$$ I invested is not lost if she goes down or someone steals her. Heaven forbid.

Still better than buying a new boat . . .

[shicks007]

Even with a new boat, it's only worth it if your using it and enjoying it! I fuss every time I have to fix something. With said, I forget those pains when I'm cruising across the Chesapeake with the wind in my face or watching my boys catch fish. ;D

[reelapeelin]

I figure it's either pay for the boat or pay for a psychiatrist...boat's gotta be more fun than sittin' in an office talkin' w/ some ''shrink'' ;)...

[Skools Out]

yeah you can cuss the boat for free

[Blue_Runner]

$6500 for 1994 V-21 hull and 1994 150 Yamaha with 2005 trailer
$7500 for new 2004 150 Yamaha motor
$900 for Garmin 172c
$300 for Garmin 250 FF
------------------------------
$15,200 (but I hope to get some amount of cash back out of the 1994 150, when I finally sell it ::)

Then, I still got the other V20, which I'll get money for, but that will just be getting some of the money back I spent on it!! Ugh!

You gotta nice boat!! And saved a ton of $$ in labor!

Now, take me fishin ;D ;)
