Unless she knows something about bass boats, why would you ask her anything? :D :p <br /><br />I'm with cpj: Its always better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

I'd go with "It has sparkly things". That works every time . . .

NO, NO, NO, LD/BF!<br />First words out of your mouth should be:" Honey, you look wonderful today!I have to be the luckiest man alive to have a wife as pretty as you!"<br />WARNING! When you are complimenting her, DO NOT ASK IF SHE HAS LOST WEIGHT! If you do, that will make her think that you thought that she was fat to begin with. And that wont help you with your plan for the new boat. :p :D

Sheeesh! You Americans! :rolleyes: <br /><br />Be a real man and just buy the boat and tell her straight like I do, "It's either you or the boat!" :D <br /><br /><br />Hang on I just heard our front door banging shut and a screech of tyres: I'll be right back.........<br /><br /><br />EDIT: :( Anybody wanna buy a nice boat in Cumbria?

We only go around this rock once...<br /><br />Might as well do it in style.<br /><br />Rangers hold their value better than any other bassboat and that one is a beauty! If you take care of it, it should still be worth over 7 grand in ten years so you're not really paying 12k. :D <br /><br />spots

<br /><br /> I have found a 1994 Ranger I would like to have, 20', 225 Merc,Dual consol, price is right, $12,000.00 and its clean as a pin and very low hours.<br />
Hey Lubedude where in Or. Is that nice looking boat? I’ll be in Medford next week and I believe that nice duel console would look right nice setting on a forty five flatbed coming to the Midwest. Sure would look good on Table Rock Lake here. :D

Re: Aint told the wife! UPDATE, PICTURE!

I Was on the computer last night just before bed, wife came in and said she was going to bed so I said, "Hey, take a look at this boat"! I brought the picture up full screen. She looked at it and said, "Wow, thats a pretty boat, even if I dont like red boats"! Maybe one day we can have a boat like that, I know you have allways wanted another Ranger", Is that one for sale?" :D I said, "Actually, yes it is, what do you think"?<br /><br />She isnt aginst it, just thinks that maybe the timing isnt just right for now. She basically said that if the boat doesnt sell in the next couple of months, maybe then we can think about it a little more seriously. She is so practical, but I have learned to listen to her over the years. She understands that I cant put my boat up for sale because if I sell mine and this one sells at the same time, then I have no boat for guiding and I allready have some clients lined up!<br /><br />She does like the boat though and is a bit excited about it! I mean whats not to like??? She asked quite a few questions about it and really looked at the picture closely and went on about how clean it looked.

Re: Aint told the wife! UPDATE, PICTURE!

i think she wants the boat more than you do now....the comment of not liking red boats was just her way of pretending to keep control of the situation. you got it..enjoy your new boat!<br /><br />disclaimer: i am no expert when it comes to the internal thinking or workings of a women, i have yet to be right with my own wife for the past seventeen years.<br />sorry i have been corrected eighteen years!

Re: Aint told the wife! UPDATE, PICTURE!

Now, like I said, start taking her with you to "LOOK" at boats (reminding her were just looking). Look at some you know you wont buy and talk about the things on the boat that arent just the way you would like them then walk away without mentioning that boat to her again. Look at new and used so she has an idea of what kind of money they are or could cost. It wont be long when she"ll realize a deal when she sees it too. :) <br /><br />Edit: PS never drool over a boat (in her presence) you would actually consider
