Well, I went down Saturday morning to pick up the boat and, after looking at it again, my wife decided it wasn't the boat for us and she said "no." She didn't think there was enough room for the kids and my mother-in-law to be comfortable. My mother-in-law? WTF? Why do I care if there is room for her?<br /><br />The end result was no Stingray 220CS.<br /><br />We decided to look at some other boats and maybe find something that fit our needs a little better. One of the boats we looked at was the Stingay 250CR seen here . It has a spacious cabin with sink (17 gallon water tank), pump out head and 5.0 MPI (260 HP). Of course all the other goodies like depth finder, sirius satellite, trim tabs, full canvas, transom shower, etc.<br /><br />I pick it up on the 14th!

Hmmmmm in the mean time are you picking out a new apron....... since your wife wears the pants!!!!!! Just kidding.... I am sure you have an apron.<br /><br />Actually you are very fortunate to have a spouse who thinks ahead and is involved.

I really like that Mother in Law "bench seat" way out back on the transom. There's lots of room for her to spread out and you won't have to listen to her griping about your driving. Good choice!!! :D

You guys crack me up. Just to get out of hot water with my wife, I should mention that my MIL is a little tiny thing.

Re: My wife said "NO" to the boat

Rubber bad night to bring this stuff up I told mine if mom is that powerfull and important than she should buy the damm boat!!!! She is not paying my wages and I will buy what I think I want it might not be right but dammit if I think thats what I want I will buy it. She said I should leave and I said go live with your mother and she went to bed. I am so tired of hearing about mom I could just S$%*!!! We were not talking about boats but all the same you just hit it right and I am just venting. The true meaning of mixed emotions is seeing your new boat going over a waterfall with your mother in law in it. :D :D :D ;)
