Thinking about a boat......
Get a boat you will really enjoy. I have contemplated getting a boat, but its not for me. I love driving them, hell, I'm better than 90% of the people I have met at driving one. (my dad taught me how to drive a boat very well.) I can drive a 22' Bayliner cabin cruiser in 4' of water no problem and not get myself stuck. But its just not for me. I am more of a fish-from-shore guy. If I owned a boat, I'd probably hardly use it except to go camp on the islands and just sit on the lake on a quiet day, doing nothing.
