May as well compare watermelons to wheelbarrows as long as we're at it.
Still thinking about the two woman analogy
It can it just needs more HP
I had a sterndrive boat once. Spent more time fixing it than driving it.
I don't know. What I do know is I enjoy the SHIT out of just going to the ramp and not even questioning that my engine will run.
Lol. I haven't found a downfall on the eggbeaters other than my friends give me shit while riding in my boat. (Their sterndrive boats are in for (repairs).
Yup.

No idea. I've changed my oil once, and dumped the gear oil once in a 110 hours. Other than that just burned gas.
Not once have I claimed my dads boat is mine, I always state it is OUR boat. I state that because we have wanted to build this boat since 06/07 when 27 ICCs and 300xs were cool. My dad new what was going to happen with the economy and didn’t pull the trigger. The economy crashed and he lost his job, we as a family struggled through it and I remember at one point buying a pizza that we had to make last multiple days because money was that tight. Luckily everything he owned he paid cash for so we didn't lose the house. Since then he has worked his ass off to get back if not ahead of where he was before the crash. Last year we were lucky enough to be able to design and build OUR dream boat. Did he pay cash? No. Could he have? Yes. Money is cheap right now and you if you know what your are doing you can make enough money with your money to offset the interest on a loan. For a middle class guy that can make a difference for a upper class guy he’ll just pay cash and not care.
I'll give ya a ride in one that's setup "properly".
lol
On to your next point. I’m 24 years old, no I don’t own my own boat. Could I afford one? Yes. Could I afford one as nice as my dads? Nope. Could I afford to pay cash for yours? Yup. I’m young with a young family I barely have time to drive my vette let alone go to the river and use a boat enough to justify buying my own. Get off your high horse bud

Not very hard to keep up with routine maintenance on a 4 stroke eggbeater.
Supposedly needs new spark plugs at 300 hours.
Maybe by this fall?
Easy there young man........
Our you can scroll up in the thread you screenshotted and see where I claim it to be OUR boat. He paid for the boat I dont have one cent in the boat, but at the end of the day we got to design our dream boat together. Hopefully one day you will get to accomplish a goal with your kids that you guys have had for 15 years. Don’t be afraid to pull the trigger on a goal life’s short.
I was hopping that’s what it was because it would definitely be a sleeper as I’m sure that boat will have some great acceleration but according to Jake they were only put on for the show to limit the amount of people who might get the idea of buying a 25 with 450s
Easy there young man........
(Dusty old prick here)
You're only 8 or 9 years older than my son, son.....
BTW, I'm the KING of asking to not be interrupted.
No. I had it deleted. My train of thought was permanently derailed, and I had to dedicate my time to other things.
I wouldn't expect you to understand where I’m coming from as you sound like you liked the idea of boating not love the boats themselves. I eat, sleep, and dream boats. I still have the hot boat magazine from a year after I was born that would get read to me for a bedtime story. Boats are my passion. I don’t care if anyone thinks I paid for my dads boat or not, I am proud of the boat because everything you see on that boat has been the accumulation of 15 years of my dad and I coming up with ideas of how we would build it. I love that boat and hopefully one day when he is ready to buy a pontoon I will be able to afford to buy it off him.

As far as privileged nothing has been handed to me besides a good work ethic, I have been working since I was 15 and made my way from a $8 an hour high school punk to a decently successful project manager. In another 4 years maybe I will have the time to use a boat as my son gets older and I can justify buying one so I can please you
If you live in Norco pm me, maybe you can stop by so we can settle this “as adults” talk boats, cars, the river. Maybe compare how many titles have our names on them or even dick sizes(yours is obviously bigger because you have a boat)
Last week I wish someone would have grabbed me by the arm, and said put the internet down, you've read enough for one day. Instead I put both feet in my mouth and embarrassed myself.
I know. Quarter miles. Quarter miles.
But why does it have to be EVERY FUQING THREAD????!?!?!??!I like how Grads comes in. Drops a deuce. Riled up the natives. Then dips
fucker
Someone remind me of this post the next time I lose my shit over something dumb please....Last week I wish someone would have grabbed me by the arm, and said put the internet down, you've read enough for one day. Instead I put both feet in my mouth and embarrassed myself.
Shit happens, we all say dumb things from time to time. Once in a while we all go off the deep end and say things, or write things that are in the "heat of the moment" or just "venting".
Whatever your situation, I suggest you take a deep breath, put the internet on hold till tomorrow and have a go at it in the morning when things have a little different light.
It's the internet.
We're all "RIGHT", at least in the moment when we are reading and responding to what others have written.
I've met Sooooooo many members of this forum. To hear their voices and words in person puts so many posts into perspective.
Take a breath. Take a break.
Its really easy to hear others posts written in too many different "contexts" to get their "voices" skewed......
Just my opinion.
EDIT: car böte motors suck......
