How much of a pain in the ass is it to own a boat?

[juiceddreadlocks]

The Top Gun boats are over $100,000 for a nice used and $200,000 for a newer model. The Donzi's are way above that also so thats why I got a nice Baja from a friend for $70,000 and haven't had any problems and it has everything I need.

I've heard some really good sounding bajas for sure. Meh to any donzis. None of the huge marinas around the lake have any donzis over 35 ft that I've seen. Lotsa twin and triple engine cigar boats though. My favorite thing in the world used to be to take my freeride standup jetskis and follow 42ft yachts (or other similar boats) and try to backflip off their 6+ ft tall wake.

I love Jet Skis too I use to race them from 10-12 yrs old but we moved away from Clearwater Beach so I just did it on my own after. My friend here owns a Yamaha shop and I was looking at some waverunners because I haven't had one in 3 years. I may be alittle old for a stand up jet ski right now because I'm still a nut.

The two best days of boat ownership are:

1) The day you buy it
2) The day you sell it

the rest is pretty much a pain in the ass

repost x 3!

my RXP used more fuel than our 300hp mastercraft.

somebody once told me that the two best days of boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it

major pain in the ass here. Boat yards in Maine suck, do little to take care of your boat, and charge the crap out of you.

First of all the RXP is one hot ski............i heard they had alot of problems though.......supercharger on a ski = insane.

Im surprised the ski used more gas than the mastercraft. I have a 15 gallon RX. I can go out on that with a full tank and get a good 6 hours of hard riding or 8-9 hours of cruisin.
Im sure though the maintanence was much less on the ski than the boat.

Wow thats so true.............never heard that before....

You ever herd the old saying" Something about the happiest day you ever had on a boat was the day you got a good blow job on it" or some shit like that....
