[In2Deep]

Let's not.

[Jbb]

Lets factor in this.....who cares....what price limit do you affix to having fun?

[cdog]

I will say i'm skipping the trip I had planned for this weekend to go out and stay longer labor day weekend. Average trip so far has been about $350 in just fuel.....For the tow vehicle and gas in the boat. But that was at 2.50 a gallon. SCARY!

[Jordy]

The thought of that is just way too depressing. I prefer to look at the fun we have and realize that you can't put a price on that. :D

Have you been talking to my in-laws? If you put all of those figures together, it would show how little logic we have with our money.
I'd rather keep the boat than compute the figures.

Hmmm...seeing my 8 year old get up on skis for the first time, and then tossing my 12 year old son off the tube....priceless.
A friend of mine recently told me that he was reading up on family realtionship building, etc. He quoted a survey that said the number one activity for bringing families together and building lasting memories, was not camping, but rather, boating. Nothing like it, i.m.o. :D :D :D

Boat payment = $22.95 every 2 months. Sometimes less on holiday weekends.
Boat fuel ='s About 50 deep breaths which is nothing and the oars came with the purchase of the boat.
Boat Insurance = They laughed at me when I asked to insure my rubber raft
Registration = No cost.........but i did steal the stickers off a wave runner and attach to the raft, jut so I could look legit.

if you have to sit there, and add up the total expense of ,seeing your kids, friends, family, and the countless people that you meet every time your on the water, with the smiles that are on there faces or the memories that are made, with a dollar amount., you must not enjoy the thing we call boating...its not something that we do, its something that we are a part of ,and absolutly love, and would not trade it for the world, its who we are...family....... :D :D :D :D

ain't that the truth :wink:

[Wicked Game]

The cost is irrellevent. It's what keeps me working my a$$ off the rest of the month. Those are the times that make putting up with all the BS worth it.

Not ony that, I save money every month by owning a house. The hotels bills and eating out every night with 5 kids two weekends a month cost way more than my house payment. Not to mention the tax benies and appriciation.
And then you got the parties and the memories. Priceless!

[bohica]

I used to think boating was an expensive habit, then I got into the whole Sand Rail thing. Now it's 12 months a year, no break in the out going cash flow. Wouldn't give it up for anything. :D
