I have a 22 foot bay boat. I spend at least 6 days a month on the water fishing. I would not recommend buying one unless you are going to use it often. I live less than 10 miles from the intercoastal, so trailering it is to and from is no big deal. I can back it into the car wash and clean it in 15 minutes when I am done. I can also fish all day and run 30+ miles for under 50 bucks. I guess a few things to consider would be the resale value for most boats suck and most people that buy boats let them rot on the trailer. Boat owner ship to most is a burden.

I was on a boat 2 weeks ago that was new and sold for $800,000 I guess they call them "Power Boats" around here. Fucking nice 2 bedroom & 2 bath and all the other shit. I was like WTF? How much extra coin do you need to blow that much on a boat?
I think it was 45' and beside it was a fuggin 56' footer...that's crazy in this day and age with the price of fuel.
Rich bastards always want to show off LOL

lol. It is a fishing boat plain and simple. I have been up to 30 miles offshore on calm days and it does take a chop pretty well. I mainly stay inshore or within sight of the beach. It has never seen fresh water. Well, except for when I clean it. Top end is 60 mph at 5800 rpm

We have always lived on the water and the south were you don't have to really store your boat for the winter. Where I grew up though most people live on the water and you have your own dock and a lift to take it out of the water. The best times of my life growing up was out on that boat with family and friends. Yes there is some pains about it but you have to weigh them and see if it's worth it for you. My step dad has always had big fishing boats which fun but I wouldn't want to own one. I have always had ski boats and a baha boat which I loved! If your single also they are the bomb for meeting womenz!! Check em out: http://www.bajamarine.com/

Dave,
When you get a chance go down to Kemah, you can sit on the cut to the bay. There's the Flying Dutchman restraunt and Landry's, etc. It's cool to sit and eat and watch the boats comming in and out. After you eat, go to the Turtle Club, it's a floating club over in Clear Lake, just down the road....
One day I was there and I could hear this F'in boat comming, it finally got to where I could see it and it just kept on comming by the damn table, it was one bad MF'er. It was fire engine red, 50+ feet, the fanciest boat I'd ever seen, like I said BRIGHT red. This young guy was stearing and this older guy was riding, big cigar, hat, the whole works. You could hear all the people talking about it, it was just THAT impressive.
As it went by, I could read the name. BLOWOUT. It was Red Adair....
For the people who don't know, Red is a famous oil well fighter. Well fires are called, blowouts. He invented the use of explosives to put the fires out instead of just letting them burn and the method of capping them while they spew hundereds of thousands of gallons of oil out. Saved companies billions. He was the only one in the world for years that could do it. Mega wealthy.....
imagine this boat in fire engine red...
