Time for a Boat?

I don't even like boating, but damn. I almost want to buy this just so I can sell my truck and boat as a package to someone OCD

For anyone interested in boating/matching this is a ~2007 sea ray 18' 175 sport. It's a close red for those of you Radiant's out there; I believe the boat is just slightly darker.

 

I have the same boat in yellow. Good seating for a smaller I/O and handles awesome.

 

It's a great boat, this ones actually my father's so I've been on & driven it many times as a kid. The motor finally blew up on him (low oil, blew a freeze plug) and now he says he can't trust it... He's not mechanically inclined so it's gotta go

 

Nice looking combo but you'd probably like boating even less owning an I/O. Outboard or inboard is the way to go imo. They help with the old joke about a BOAT (break out another thousand.)

 

The two happiest days in a boat owners life is the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat.
The thrill of owning a boat can be simulated by standing in a cold shower and ripping up $100 bills.

 

I own two bass boats. Fish local pot tournaments around my area. You are correct Gen3 I average a grand a year in repairs. That's why I have two so when one is down needing repairs I have a backup to keep me going.
I do all repairs myself though and that saves me a lot of money. Boats ain't for everyone they need to be ran often and routine maintenance is a must. I couldn't imagine life without one.
