[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 206969, member: 324"] Coupla things... I spent about 7 hours at the boat show on Saturday. Enjoyed myself immensely (except for the $4 sloppy joe that wasn't worth 50 cents). I once thought that someone would have to be a billionaire to own a $75K boat. Now there are lots of them at that price, and higher. And not just at the boat show either. Lots of them at the ramps, and they are not pulled by P.O.S. pickups. That being said, a friend told me about wakeboard boats a couple of years ago, and he'd skied behind a Mastercraft that was $90K. I thought that that was insane. Fast forward a couple years, and Mastercraft makes a boat listing for DOUBLE the most expensive fishing boat there. They had a $202K wakeboard boat at the show. I about tipped over. The boat show special price, was $165K. You hear the funniest (and maybe dumbest) things at the sport show. I walked into a big $80K camper, and a woman sitting on the couch was talking to another woman, about "our camper". She said hers had 5 TV's, and it would be "hard to go backwards" from that. Sheesh. The funniest thing I overheard was a guy stepping out of a $100K pontoon, and he said "I like my boat just fine, it only takes me 10 minutes to blow it up". All told, I love toys. And to each their own. In my life, I've spent some pretty dumb money. These toys are just pretty far out of my reach. [/QUOTE]
