[QUOTE]Originally posted by hidnn.o.s.: [QB] We just upgraded to an 06 Yamaha boat for size, and absolutely love it. But for the past 18 months we LOVED our 1973 Tahiti with a Chrysler 105 on the back! I picked up a manual on it right away and went through the bottom end etc because it had been sitting for the previous 10 years but when first fired, it was turn key! I LOVE exposing our kids to the freedom of having a boat as well as taking friends out so they can share in the relaxation. If single, GOD I WISH I OWNED A BOAT BACK THEN.... With the family, there is no better therapy.... My wife and I don't argue all that often, but one thing we both note, we've "never" argued when on the water (which is a lot.) It's GREAT to spend the time with the kids, the two year old loves jumping off the boat, the 9 year old is getting into knee boarding etc and the 16 year old doesnt mind hanging out with "dad" so much, lol! He brings his friends camping on the boat etc. Boating is a GREAT way to keep the family together imo. The Tahiti runs so well and is in such great shape the $2,500 I could get for it, doesn't make sense to me. I'm keeping both boats, that one for the kids and to have an extra boat on camping trips. I'm telling you guys/girls, I "NEVER" would have thought boating was this FUN, RELAXING, EXCITING etc..... If you get a chance while you're young I suggest you "give it a shot" rather than listening to other people, many of whom never owned a boat etc. I've got nothing to gain by any of you buying a boat (other than more crowded lakes.....) but I wish someone had conveyed this to me long ago....
