[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 321173, member: 656"] I thought I would weigh in on the subject since I just bought myself a shiny, used $3000 Crestliner. Apparently I'm in the lower income bracket in North Dakota based on what I see fishing the Missouri River. Unbelievable how much money is parked in the parking lots. I don't understand why people are spending the money on the boats, trucks and campers the way they do in North Dakota. It was eye opening to me when I drove to Washington State last year to go camping. Almost nobody had those kind of rigs. It was tent camping and things were small. I think some of you are fooling yourself into thinking that spending large dollars on boats and campers will create more or better memories because you will be able to go out more often. The way I look at it, sure you will need a large boat on the reservoir when the weather is crap. But honestly, do you really think your wife and kids will want to be out there when there are 20 mph winds and whitecaps? I would say most kids and wives don't want to be out there then. I sure as shit don't want to be. I like fishing but I don't like being miserable when fishing. Another thing, I know for sure that some of you are getting the big boats, trucks and campers because you don't want to look like me when I go camping. You know, the old truck, the old boat and a tent. Its about keeping up with the Jones'. Its a status symbol but I think in some of your minds you refuse to be honest with yourself and why you need those big rigs. Now if you want to spend the money you do, go ahead. Personally I think its a little sickening to spend that kind of money when there are so many other, better things it could be spent on but that's just my opinion. Maybe its just me being jealous. IDK. Don't hate on me for just stating what I think is obvious. I don't care what you do. I just think you're crazy. [/QUOTE]
