AHHH, the Joy of Boat Ownership

The triton is ready for the season. $1800 spent and, the motor is serviced, plugs replaced, water pump replaced, and a bunch of broken tidbits fixed. The life of a bayboat is tough and once a year TLC is expensive. I remember when I gave up motorcyles and started the safer hobby of fishing. At that time, I thought Harleys were expensive. I know better now.
Oh well, once I'm clearing the POC little jetty with a salty breeze in my face and a day full of possiblity in front of me, I will quickly forget the money spent.

Yeah, but it's all worth it once you get out there with friends and/or family and start catchin' fish.

I wonder if I concentrated real hard, loaded up the boat and zipped across the lake tomorrow in this 25 degree weather, if it would feel like it's 85 outside???

I did all the major fixing in November, about $4K worth. Putting in new electronics this coming weekend and putting in some much needed time on the trailer. I took her out for a trip to Matagorda island once this winter and we took her out for a sight seeing cruise. I'm dying to hit the big salt NOW! Joe
