Cheer up Commodore, you'll get your boat. - Trish Nov 12, 15:57 3
- I'll be like Gibbs and McGeek rolled into one. :) - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:01 2
  - I don't know what that is. I'm thinking "Riptide". -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 16:30 1
    - NCIS. Excellent show on CBS. Navy-related. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:34
Just for fun, I'm going to re-link it. 30-foot Hustler XM named "Ballyhoo" -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:46 11
- Come to think of it, I don't think they even advertise a Head option on that boat. That would be a dealbreaker, if it didn't have one. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:03
- I love this boat. Are you really thinking of buying it? -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:49 7
  - Logically speaking, I shouldn't buy it (nor should I buy any boat at the moment), but I am leaning towards it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:49 6
    - The problem is, the cost. A decent loan for it would still cost as much as $500 a month, plus slip fees on top of that, and maintenance. - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:53 5
      - I'd go with something smaller, a laser, sailboard. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 15:55 2
        
        Toooo small. The water here is lethally cold, so that would be unusable for most of the year. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:00 1
        
        Think of it as incentive to learning how to sail really well. ;) - the liioulu with dry umbrella Nov 12, 16:26
      - I wonder if you can start with something smaller. I know nothing about boats, though. -- nm - mara Nov 12, 15:54 1
        
        actually, I want to start bigger ... something with a shower and a clothes washer/dryer .. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 16:00

  - Yeah, the sailing school I'm working with is going to have something like that for next spring. It would probably be most wise to go that route. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 15:49
