Re: How much does it cost you to go fishing
Well, let's see...
New 2008 Lund 1750 Fisherman with lots of goodies, Merc 115hp 4-stroke, Shoreland'r trailer with options: $xx,000.
New 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited to tow said 2008 Lund 1750 Fisherman: $xx,000.
So, how much does it cost to go fishing? Oh, I'd say it's about 1 1/2 times what we paid for our house back in 1975.
The cost of gas, insurance, required equipment (PFDs, lines, anchor, etc), safe boating course, LakeMaster chip, fishing equipment and license, and other expenses don't seem to really matter at this point... the whole experience was rather mind numbing, you know.
Anyway, I finish my safe boating course and take the exam tomorrow night, and we pick up the new boat this Thursday (May 1st) for a shakedown cruise with the selling dealer, weather permitting. Can't wait!
