Boats can be fun as long as you don't own them! When I was younger my dad owned a 1954 55 foot Chris Craft. Three screws and enough power to pull three skiers. Of course gas was cheap then, and even if you were a good mechanic yourself they weren't cheap to own or maintain. We got rid of it after he passed. As sad as it was to see it go, it had to go, it made a big hole in the water.
