Hell yea you should


All of us should, just to confuse the heck outta newcomers when we're all talking about how much water our shitboxes take on

 

I can't even imagine where I would find the time or money to take on a boating hobby

part of what makes Tyler such an enigma, let alone all his other projects

 

For that Arizona oceanfront property

 

You throwing in a golden gate for freeeeeee?

 

Gold, bronze, whatever color you want.

 

I totally understand that! Partly why I'm only looking for something like this

Something just big enough to load on top the truck and putt around a lake.

 

You can pick up many free boats along the shoreline of lake Mead this summer. Just remember there is no such thing as free.

 

You'll want something bigger for spending weekends on Smith Mtn Lake near Roanoke.

 

Coming in clutch, thanks for the heads up!

What size would you think is good?

Also are there any other small lakes near by worth looking into? Just looking at satellite images of the area it looks like options are limited :/

 

Carvins Cove is a bit smaller, good mtb trails nearby too. But SML is more of the sorta place for parties on a pontoon boat. Plenty of people on jon boats too, but youll want to bring people out with you which will require something a little larger.

 

I have fond memories of my grandpa's pontoon boat as a kid. Thing was slow as hell but when you're 6 years old riding an inner tube behind it, felt like warp speed

 

Theyre not as slow when youre drunk.

 

One of the lakes around here is 25 hp limited and has a bunch of pontoon boats you can rent. Pretty nice way to chill with some folks without actually having to own a boat.

 

Nice, just got off the phone with HR.

I start Monday with the shop I was hoping to land.

More pay than the small fab shop outside town, and it's M-F morning shift.

I called the other company's HR twice but not answer, only to miss their call when I was on the phone

Have to tell them I'm going to decline their offer.

 

Congratulations!!

 

Thank you!

The 5 minute commute is too hard to pass up.

My Land Cruiser is gonna end up lasting me a lot longer between fill-ups now
