I'm coming over to the dark side. As my name implies, I own a couple of sailboats. However, I'm buying a true stinkpot from a trustworthy source: 18' Fisher bass boat with 115 HP Merc. The kids always want to go tubing, and I always want to go fishing, and the low price of this thing is unreal. Had my local Merc dealer check it out, and it got a clean bill of health, so...<br /><br />I never met a boat I didn't like. My father-in-law asked me which boat I was going to sell. I blurted out, instinctively, "One should only ever buy boats or sink them... never sell a boat." So far, my life story.
