Before you buy the boat, take a wad a cash and throw it in the garbage. Keep doing this every week for about a year. This will give you the feeling of owning a boat.

I already have a small boat that I had before I was married. Now 13 years later, the wife just loves boating (more than the vette) and wants a bigger one to sleep on and spend weekends. Got to keep her happy.

I would suggest thinking long about the boat. I sold my boat to buy the Vette. Two greatest days in a boat owners life...the day you buy it...and the day you sell it..
