How many of us has this happen
 

Me

That is why you marry a blonde !! :D

I can't even try to hide it. The detection system is way too good!

That's why I have a shed at where I keep the boat and only I have the key. But when she sees the boat and sees new shiny things my excuse of " I already had that and I just put it back on " is not working

Ha-ha...funny cartoon. That is why I go straight to the detached garage with all purchases. Sshhhhhsh?

For the last month I have been kicking around getting a 23 and doing a build at wildfire marine, but I have decided not to.
Many reasons among them is the cost and time. By the time I'm finished it will that anywhere from 6 months to a year to have the boat in shape, and then comes the engine and accessories. And just rough numbers I'm going north of 75k. Looking around there are several 23's here that can be had for less than 1/2 of that. I would also need to get a bigger truck...etc

Also I'm not all that far from retirement age and I want to enjoy myself.

I'm looking at maybe staying with the 20 and getting a Skimmer Craft flats boat that is so easy.

Decisions decisions

What boat?

I`m Joe Biden and I've never owned a boat.

The boat is my wife's happy place. She aggravated the crap out of me to finish ours! ;)

lucky man!!

Get The 23, you live in Miami Do it urself 🤪 and the prices of material down in that Secret Area (Okeechobee Road) are 30% cheaper than anywhere else.

What secret area????

Spill it out

jorge there was a very nicely restored 23 on thehulltruth week selling for a good price. maybe worth a look. it was up in the panhandle but looked like a nice deal

The brown santa claus gives it away every single time....(UPS) LOL
