Re: New guy here
"Insanity" is a relative term ;) heh heh
Welcome to the forum, and while all the above is great advice, what you do depends on what YOU want to get out of your boat. I ran probably the most beat up looking V-20 on the east coast, with an old OMC 155 with more hours on it than anybody's business, and I ran it that way for something like 15 years. But she WAS safe (when that OMC didn't break down) and we had a lot of good times on her. It's pretty safe to say that you will never get out of your boat the $$$ you invest in her. You may come fairly close, or you may be way off. The way I see it, the more money you invest the longer your commitment to keep her -- or loose some of your investment. SO, don't get in over your head. Think about what you want in a boat and how long you can be happy with that boat, and decide accordingly.
Heck, if boats were a good investment we'd all be rich!
