Hi
My name is Austin, I have been coming to this site for quite sometime now even before registering (was a heck of a time seperating new and old post when not an offical memeber)
Married (Angela), two kids- son(7 Anakin) daughter(6 Anastasia). I homeschool the two of them.
Been around boats my whole life growing up. But when my grandfater died it was something I really didnt want to go back to. But since I have kids now, and they are the perfect age to get started into getting a boat. So have been saving to buy a new boat with cash (dont want to give those blood sucking vampire banks anymore money) Was actually told from a dealer at a show the other day that if I paid cash I would not get as good of a deal like I would if I got a loan. Yeah, I know they are trying to make as much money as they can, but dont tell customers crap like that. (who in there right mind would take out a loan just because they would take a few bucks off the sticker price)
Have learned so much from my grandfather, and coming to this site, I have refreshed and learned more. Wife and I have went through the courses also. I know how you like to tell everyone that
. My wife wasnt lucky enough to grow up camping and boating like I was.
We are looking, well more me then anything at Centurion, Nautiques. My wife likes those and Yamaha, and Sea Doos. All four for the safety reason. Growing up and camping every weekend on lakes, I made the mistake of telling my wife all about the accidents I have seen with props. So my wife really likes the Jet Drives.
Well, nice to finally post on here. Felt it was time, since we are almost taking the plunge.
Oh yeah, if you could tell by my screen name and my sons name, I am a huge Star Wars nut.
