I am wondering what the tower height is at it's highest point when it is laying down. Also, has the boat ever been in salt water and lastly and most importantly, is it still for sale? Please respond back to me at my regular e-mail address : gary95762@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Gary

thats a hot boat!!!! even if its a cc lol just kidding. you will not have a problem selling it im sure. luv the color combo

No disrespect, but why do guys have to sell their boats just because they have a baby on the way?
Our daughter is 4 weeks old, and today my wife was asking if we could take her out in the boat. We expect to do more boating with our child, not less. I guess some people might be on a tight budget, and if making a boat payment, I could see how extra money might come in handy. But still, I see at least 10 ads per week that say baby on way, boat must go. Just seems like boating is a great family activity. BKH

Couldn't agree more BKH.

The only situation, and still a stretch, is if they still owe up to their eyeballs on it. Even then I'd find a way to make it work.

I guess everyone looks at things differently,I don't see how we could possibly use this boat near as much with an infant baby as we would w/o. I don't like the idea of having a 30k boat sitting in the garage wasting away.Its not really a question of money as much as realigning some priororities(sorry for the spelling)for me.No disrespect taken or intended.It may not even sell which would be fine also.If it does sell, my wife will probably cry & I'll never hear the end of it.Thanks for looking

[bkhallpass]

You're right. If you are not going to use it, you might as well let someone else enjoy it and use your money for something else. In my family, I was born in October, and was in the boat the following summer. Two of my brother's and sisters were born in May and made it into the boat before the summer was over. I think it's really matter of how much is boating a part of the lifestyle of the mother and father. I guess I was lucky - boating and camping were priorities for my mom and dad. Good luck on selling your boat. It looks well cared for and I'm sure it will go to a good home. BKH

Word. Ads like this scare the **** out of me.

Another way to look at it is the boat is already wasting away anyway. Take my boat as an example- we take it out maybe 2X a week if we're lucky, and we go out more than most people do. Most times we only get her out one time a week. So if a baby only reduces it to once every other week, or whatever, it's not that big of a difference. And, if you can make it through this time, you better believe at age 2 that kid is going to be hanging off the boom!

We hope to have her boating pretty soon, but we don't need that much boat for once or twice a month.Hopefully the boat will go to a caring,loving home:) & we'll get something that won't make me feel guilty if we aren't using it that often.

We had our little girl out at 2 weeks of age, now at 3.5 years she wants to know when are we going out on her boat? Its a great family activity, and I understand how having a baby scares the shi* out of you, and you think everying will change. You will be glad to know that after a few months of adjusting your new family will be working towards getting back into old routines and looking for fun things to do again....like getting your boat out!

im going to sell mine just for the $$$$ factor, not for the baby factor-----my 3 year old loves the lake, but the boat payment and fuel will look good in the bank when the baby expenses arive!

We don't have kids yet, but are thinking about it soon. This year we were able to get out on the lake 3 times. Yes 3 times all year! If I was smart I would sell the boat, but those 3 times were great, and I hope to be able to use it more this next year. Even if we don't use it more, knowing that I can use it gives me some sense of satisfaction. I grew up around water, boating, and my grandparents had a lake house, so I spent almost all summer on the water. For me, I just can not imagine not giving that same opportunity to our kids when we have them. I former neighbor has a BU, and had a child about 3 years ago. They have their 2nd on the way right now. It was not 4 months after they bought their boat when they found out she was pregnant, and they decided to keep the boat. The next year they though about selling it since they did not use it much that year, but decided to keep it since they would not be happy with less of a boat, and they could not afford to buy another one like theirs (or more appropriatly could not justify the expense). Now they are happy they kept the boat, and just chalk up the lost usage during the baby stage as another cost of ownership.

IMPO, if money is not the big issue, and it is guilt for non usage, keep the boat. The guilt for selling will be much bigger than the guilt of letting it sit unused.
