- October 02, 2013, 19:20:23 PMI have to agree for the most part. As a rule, it costs a small fortune just to feed most of them. A friend of ours has a 27' cabin cruiser, it takes $700.00 in fuel for a weekend. We have a 14' aluminum "car top" boat, on a trailer, it belonged to the wifes father many years ago. I was in rough shape, so we spent around $1000.00 to totally rebuild/upgrade it. It has a 9.9 hp outboard, costs around $30.00 for a full weekend. I'll take mine any day.

If you want to ride on a boat regularly, get a job on one.

Fortunately, I've got my Drifter (and she goes like a cruiser'...)

- September 30, 2013, 11:57:27 AMI'll let the next couple of shots I took this morning on my way to physio on my bike......and sailboat owners are as fanatical as bikers with getting that last run in or ride in.....so this means an early winter. I did ask what it cost to lift your boat in and out, and got laughed at.....mmmm.......they did say with 5 to 6 people in a group it was not too bad a deal.......

Maybe a bit early this year for these parts.The trees are a painters palette right now with all the colours, going to try to get a ride in if the rain allows and get some pictures....

- September 29, 2013, 19:37:38 PMHey, buddy, if you come here, you can have your very own place. Pick from either the 1-room log cabin Dad put in back by the pond (no electric, heat, or plumbing, and smells somewhat of mice), OR you can stay in the camper- queen bed and water/heat. (that is unless it sells before you get here (I'm getting ready to list it soon....).
It's supposed to be in the 70 all week.

- September 29, 2013, 19:00:21 PMTroll, I think he must have been tracking "road miles", not as the crow flies. Somehow, I don't thing the 1 week for 100 miles works quite like that! Especially since it's only about 200 miles South!
But if it's the wisdom and cheese you want, Ratman, you can't go wrong!!
