I've always been crazy but it keeps me from going insane

Am I as crazy as I feel?
I know nothing about fishing, diving, water skiing, and such. I know absolutely nothing about boating whatsoever.
I've never owned a boat, and don't have a boat.
I'm not sure I can afford a boat...

That's why I'm on the wait list for a slip in my neighborhood.
(No, I can't sub-lease it.)

Is it on a bay??
If so you can sit on the dock of the bay. That's worth something!

Do you have a giant hole burning in your purse where money is pouring out?

I have family that lives in NC on the inter coastal and they have docks, lifts, etc. If I lived there I would have a boat and just learn. I think its a great idea, keep your name on it I say.

Do you have a friend with boat. That's different to friend with benefits.

You might want to price a boatlift for that slip before you even think about buying a boat. I think the price will sway you away from even thinking about a boat.

First thing I thought of when I saw your lyrical title....

'Well, kiss my ass, I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea'

To answer the question, crazy, yes. Rent one if you have to scratch that itch.

Tonto, he was smarter.

I can’t listen to that song without cracking up.

Avid boater here! BUT of the fresh water variety.....But the thought of having a slip available in beautiful FLOridah would be right up my alley....DO IT, DO IT my inner selfish self screams!

Still, I would pay heed to the valuable advice given here...cuz they yain't cheap to own....trybeforeyoubuy!

Have fun in your venture!

If I had to use a public boat ramp, versus walking the 90 feet to my dock and lowering my boat into the water, I wouldn't own a boat. Same goes for the Waverunners.

It's where the Braden and Manatee Rivers converge. The gulf is maybe 10 miles. Most importantly, being on the list cost me nothing.
