Pipe-dream,
We got the crazy "wanna go bigger bug" after spending time on a friend's flybridge boat. If I had to choose between the sport fisher or an outboard powered boat (v 20) I would take the V. The truth is we use the smaller boats way more. Heck we have an old 15' RIB that we use at least 4 times a week during the summer. We rarely use the sport fisher for day trips. When we take the sport fisher it's usually for an overnight or week long trip. Both types of boats are cool. Running fast in the small boat then dropping anchor on a sandbar to go for a swim is great. Leaving the dock for a long weekend with most of the comfort of home on the big boat is also great.
Lucky for me Karen is crazy about boats/boating and being on the water.
We are hopefully going to be able to retire in 10 years. It's doubtful that we will be able to afford a Sport fisher at that time but you never know. It doesn't matter because we have fun even if we're just sitting on the beach with an umbrella and a cooler.
