Getting my first boat

[Dan F]

i have to agree with dan feller. there is nothing better than being out on th water early in the morning! ahhh the smell of exhaust

Absolutely! Hook the boat up and load the car the night before. As you pull out of your driveway in the dark you just KNOW it's going to be a good day...

You're friends probably have never owned a boat - I love mine!

1) You're right - My friends do have it pretty good...
2) The day I bought it WAS good. Every time I start it up is even better!
3) Anything good costs money. I bought my boat new, so I dropped a big chunk at once. In the last nine years I've spent $100.00 max on it, not counting gas.

Rallysman, you won't regret it. The boat looks good as it is, I wouldn't do too much to it. The motor could be the best OR the worst part of the deal, hard to tell without looking.

Happy Boating!

glad to hear someone be positive. i just signed the papers for my first boat last week. pick it up on the 23rd.

good luck with your new toy rally!

I'm getting the hitch installed on my car (hopefully) tomorrow. After that I'll be driving to get it. I should have it this weekend

Here is a video of it. http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn9/71Caravelle/?action=view&current=DSCN0568.flv

That video makes me want to be on my boat. We took it out of storage today, and my husband takes it to Redding, CA tomorrow to get dewinterized. It's supposed to be 104 on Friday, so it's boating time!

I think it's a cool looking boat! Forget how much work and money it will be. If it's what you want, then go for it! I like the color and think it looks cooler than most new boats anyways.

you should get it and name it "The Redheaded Step-child" that way if some one ask whats up with you boat just smile and point to it's name!!!

Just got it home! Crappy pic, but the camera battery died after the first one.

Nice, I'm sure your car has plenty of power to pull it.

Have fun! We're going out tomorrow at 5:30 AM, and my wife is as excited to go as I am
