Know some guys whose boat cost more than their house!!

2007 Triton 21X2, Mercury 300XS, 56,000.00 TTL, 2009 GMC Sierra Dura Max 4X4 loaded 51,000.00 inc TTL, That is 106,000.00 for fun, have I lost my mind ? I do have a problem, I like new stuff. Atleast the boat is paid for.

AMEN!!

You live in Southlake! You can afford it, just ENJOY!!! LOL

Same story here, both paid for.

Now FUTURE plans are another story hehehe ... I'm thinking something like $16K for a good used diesel truck and at least twice that for a 24'-26' used boat ... but that's gotta wait for at least a year or two.

And you're gonna get that boat real dirty at AC this weekend. Up 2 1/2 feet so far.

You gonna be at registrations Saturday?

It's been that way for quite some time my friend.
In 1987 I bought a new Ranger 373V Bassmaster Classic. Top of the line....Paid $17250.00
In 1989 I bought a new Ford F-150 Lariat Extended Cab PU. There were only 2 options not on the truck, captains chairs, and 4WD. For some reason, that year if you got captains chairs, you also got jump seats in the back instead of a full width seat, which in my mind, defeated the purpose of buying an extended cab P/U, and living in Granbury (Ordered the Truck at Everett Hooks Ford), I figured 4WD was wasted money.....Paid $14250.00 + TTL

I have a 10 year old truck I bought new that is now worth about $5k. I have a 20 year old boat I bought used that is worth about $4k. I spend a lot more $ on my boat than my truck. I am planning on buying a new boat in the next couple of years before I get a new truck. I will then be the guy with the $30k boat and the old beater of a truck. I guess I am on my way to being in the club.

skeeter 202zx (paid for) and '01 Dodge 3500 deisel (paid for)

So Ronnie, not doing your part to spur the economy, huh? That's unamerican. Or, maybe you should ask for some stimulus money.

Buy a more expensive truck!

I went yesterday, did not do too well but I did manage to get the pretty white boat looking red, I think we are heading out about 9 a.m., should make the registration.

I live on the Keller border and my wife teaches at Keller schools so I am kind of 50/50 on where I say I am from, I was lucky and purchased my land long before the prices went through the roof.

which unit are you going to leave unattended at a boat ramp
all day ?
I would prefer a new boat , older truck

which one do you spend the most time in ?
hour or two towing , then all day in boat
I would prefer a new boat ..
If you are forunate enough for both ..great

If you have to choose ?????

Well I spend a lot of time driving its part of my job. So when I buy a truck it is fully loaded.

Last ruck I bought was 2001 F250 Lar, Power stroke 4x4 with just about everything on it. If I recall correcty sticker was like $42K.

Then last April i bought my first new boat since my truck has been paid for a while now. So yes at the current time my boat is worth more than my truck. However they both cost about the same new.

I have no plans to buy a new truck or boat anytime soon. In fact I do not plan to ever buy both at the same time and make double payments.....thats just my plan it works for me
