Saturday night I was down town
Working for the F.B.I.
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Boot legging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the D.A. man
When I heard this woman singing a song....

🍺

Aberlour 16... Monte #3... and boxing on Showtime.

My boat was inexpensive when compared to well-known brand name boats, like Bayliner, Parker, Grady White, or Boston Whaler, but it was also half the price. First boat, so I didn't want to (and couldn't afford to) spend 65-70k on a boat. I'm prioritizing my 457b.

We'll see how I feel when I retire, but I'm happy with it right now. It's not great, but it's good enough and gets me to the fishes. I'm gaining experience and having fun while still putting $$ away for retirement.

I'm thinking a well cared for, older, quality used boat... and then spending a little for a new motor/controls may be the way to go.

Sounds smart... I neglected this boat about 10 years ago after the gimbal ring snapped... I had another back surgery right after that but it's not really a good excuse for not winterizing it properly.. I opened the drain valves and stuff but didn't pump antifreeze thru it... My son wants to put it back on da water so we'll do it.. but it's also a cool thing to do together... 😟
