Reply #5: I read that as I look at my boat sitting on a trailer in the yard

[onethatcares]

I've had it for 10 years, had a lot of fun on it, but now the cost of registration, gas, insurance and just having the time to take it out

are gone. It's a 21 ft cuddy cabin with an outboard. It holds 35 gallons of gas and will use just about all of it on a good fishing trip, but

it's better to stay in the 1/3 range(that's 1/3 getting there,1/3 getting back and 1/3 for emergencies). I no longer make a very good wage in

construction that allowed me to have that kind of day. No one wants to buy the boat because no one is making what they were when boating was fun,

and there are way more boats out there than buyers.

We're gonna become more like Europe than we ever thought we could become except we won't have the healthcare.
