kickin around the idea

[Blue_Runner]

This is an @ss-backwards idea but what if you sold the etec and put a solid used motor in its place....put some dough in your pocket and still keep the boat. Problem is, you'd still lose money. Dangit, why can't boats/motors be a good monetary investment??

I like the trailer idea too, provided you have somewhere to store it.

I am in the same situation with my 2 daughters 14 and 12. Not only is that staring me down but my job is not likely to exist within the next 1 - 2 years. Hoping to scrape by somehow some way.........
