Re: boating fever

I'm in same "boat" but think of it this way. We're half way there lol. I've even just went out crawled under the cover and just imagined I'm out on the great blue fishing!! Some call it crazy but I call it dedication :)

Re: boating fever

LOL Dude your such a newb!!

Give it a couple seasons and you will be in your boat, in the driveway, with a sprinkler going in January...



I was last week too, kinda funny when the neighbors are taking pictures of their idiot neighbor in his shorts with 6" of snow on the ground sitting in the boat listening to kid rock "All summer long" a Corona in one hand and a wash rag in the other, couldn't use the detailing spray though it was still frozen....

Re: boating fever

yeah well i would be out there cleaning it except it is buried in about five feet of snow and wearing shorts right now at minus 10 degrees centigrade is not an option

Re: boating fever

At least we're having a winter this year in Ontario. Hopefully the lake water will be up a bit. This winter I passed the time customizing my golf cart that I use around our marina. Toronto boat show, Hamilton boat show, London boat show, buying stuff....SPRING!!!

Re: boating fever

I have the fever too..... Just spent $2K on non-essential boat stuff over the last month or so. Idle hands are the devils workshop - and his workshop is my pocketbook.:facepalm:

Re: boating fever

I'm in Southern California.. and I'm going stir crazy.. I cannot wait for summer.. sure i can take my boat out, go fishing and all that good stuff. However, I really enjoy when its 100f+ out, you can just stop middle of the lake.. jump out, cool off.. get back in, keep going.. beach the boat, barbeque..beers.. women..bikinis...boating..bikinis.... Did i mention bikinis, women, and beer? Think I'm gonna sit in the boat/driveway this weekend and make vrooom vrooom noises.. :D:D
