Your two happiest days will be the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

A Bradley is not a tank for what it's worth. Maybe you should start a thread about what it's like to drive a tank.
That Bradley was bad arse....but let me guess you are going to say M1 Abram is?

Someone already said it, but you can and should rent or charter boats. Unless you're an avid boater you'll come out WAYYYY ahead.

What kind of 4X4 did you buy? Are you an OT baller?

The three happiest days in a boat owners life is when you kill your first hooker, collect insurance on the disappearance, and settle comfortably on Norway, and buy another boat.

How easy is it to get the hang of it behind the wheel?


Very easy to drive, its when you need to dock, anchor, and/or put on the trailer that you will have issues without experience

I have had mine a year and I am ready to sell. People joked that the best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. It is true :(

I hated tankers so I make it known by definition I never was one.

I would love to see the full video of the aftermath. I laugh every time I see that video.

Docking in the wind is a PITA with a big boat. Practice on a calm day before you head to the Prop Stop.

Trailer boats are pretty easy, depending on size.
Anything over 22' and it's hard to launch by yourself.

Christ there is always someone out there playing bumper boats with the surrounding boats. Its as if they are already drunk before they come get the worm bucket.

Go to bass pro and buy one already.

See you at the Prop Stop Saturday and Sunday.

It's that easy.

Eta: Just let your boyfriend drive, don't stop at the Prop Stop. Go across to Sun Buns

If you can't back a boat on a trailer turn in your man card.
