Ah heck, just call it a "Fun Tax" and leave it at that!

My wife tells me I never was too bright (and I agree with her, saying I married her didn't I) and when I sold my sailboat and bought a 30' SeaRay this past winter she brought it up again. I put $200 worth of fuel in it yesterday and it added - wow - a whopping 1/4 tank to each side. Whee! If I...

Great - thanks! The more the merrier. With alot of members come alot of opinions. It's always a good thing to have different sides to a conversation as it inspires thought. I think I'll have another beer! :drink:

For those of you not lucky enough to have sailed solo, this is a story I picked up elsewhere, but it sounds identicle to the relaxing trips I've taken... "Well today is, Sunday the 17 Feb 2008, BF piked it, said he was feeling a little under the weather. Not me I was going for a sailing, solo...

I'm getting the feeling I may be the only one here with a sailboat. I'd like to fix that - I have one of mine for sale. If someone here buys it there will be two of us! Not to mention the fact that I'll make a generous donation to the site.:thumb: For those who have never been sailing, it...

"Have you started detailing the boat and putting together the repair list yet for the upcoming season? " YES - and it's a big list. "Why is it that as a boater you are never satisfied with what you have currently? Does it ever stop?" NO. I've gone bigger until I reached 36', then I went...

I have a production valve grinder that appears to be complete. Electric Motors (2) both work, one each powering the valve quill and the wheel. I used it to grind angles on a special set of valves for a friend. Worked great and he was happy. If any one is interested, let me know and I'll forward...

Yeah, I know what you mean. That's the same thing my wife keeps telling me when I talk about getting it.

I'm off a little. It's a '93 and they're asking $23,900 for it. http://www.marinesource.com/boat_sales/sunsation_32_dominator_10791743726.html and http://www.marinesource.com/buyerslistings/photodetails.cfm?ListingNmb=10791743726

It's a '91. Shows like new. It's a repo, and the PO didn't winterize it. The motors have been replaced with ~300hr. 454's. I've been thinking seriously about it...and in the mean time ran across someone who knew the boat. They hinted that it may have had some water incursion into the gelcoat at...

I'll do that. Heck, we're a third of the way there already! I'll try to remember to bring pictures in to post tomorrow. We will be at 15 in no time. Fair winds and tight sails. (What do ya get when a feed a fat gal tacos?)

My name is Rick and I'm addicted to boating. I'm on a 12 boat recovery program. I've had 8 so far...and just bought my 9th. I've got it bad. I have both power and sailboats - and yes, multiples of each at the same time! Won't someone throw me a line? (Not you Waybomb - yours will have an...

You're just jealous - I can go out on the boat all day and only spend $1.00 on gas. Of course it takes me all day to get outside the pierhead and back in again, but hey! Wasn't that fun...?

"What is the fastest bass boat you've riden in?" A Triton that did 75 easily. The bass boat that felt the fastest was mine - an 18' Bass Tracker Targa with a 90 on the back. Only reason it felt the fastest is because my bass fishing partner was driving and I was leaning back in the passenger...

I realize the majority of you have powerboats, but some of us have sailboats too! How about a category for such...it isn't really even an "etc." under the "Houseboats, Pontoons, etc" category. I have two of the dern things - a 26' (for sale) and a 41' project boat. My 41' even has a carved...
