With our "experience", shouldn't we know better than to be playing around with old boats?

Yep - I guess we should know better. But here's my theory: (and these are just generalizations so don't anybody get excited :))
1. The younger guys haven't been around long enough to have had kids that deplete all of their funds so they can "afford" newer boats, although mostly on credit;
2. We middle-agers have had our funds take a major hit from having kids that grow into teenagers so unless we bought a boat in our 20's, all we can afford is an older boat (in either case, we still have an older boat that needs some attention);
3. The old timers have had a chance to recover from their family rearing years and can once again, afford to buy new - this time without using credit.

iwakeboard no way I could afford a new boat! I am good for $10k now, looking to resale and upgrade to a $20k boat now. Nice cheap payments ~100 a month. :)

Mikey, It'll be a couple years but I will probably upgrade after I graduate, I'll keep you in mind if you're looking for a boat then!

[TayTay]

For those of you around 30 with a newer boat - what is your secret? :)

Be patient and find a used "newer" boat. We paid 26k for ours and payments are around $220/month. We both work decent paying jobs and dont have kids...... yet, one on the way though. The boat is staying, its already been decided. I think it is just finding a good deal and I guess it really comes down to the number thats in the box on your paycheck.

[Ed G]

I'm 55 years young and bet any one of you kids would have a tough time hanging with me on a 26 mile run

[jonyb]

bet any one of you kids would have a tough time hanging with me on a 26 mile run

You'd lose me in the first 10 yards.... My respiratory system doesn't work well, and I work out/cardio at least 5 times a week.

[docdrs]

can i ride my bike?

[87SunSportMikeyD]

I can wakeboard 7+ miles... :)

[jet]

I inline skate 20-30 miles a week, weights 3-times a week, and the then board 4-5 times a week. And that doesn't include my rock climbing installs, I do 3-4 a week on steep roofs. I have seen alot of 30 somethings come and go because there body couldn't take it any more and Im still going. 47..

Jet lol you install rock climbing walls on peoples roofs? Dang that is nuts! Are there like permanent anchors on the roofline or something?? You gotta do a roof wall install thread like your coolmyattic.com thread!! :)

[dusty2221]

I'm 55 years young and bet any one of you kids would have a tough time hanging with me on a 26 mile run

Why on earth would I run that far? lol. I'm good with about a 5k, after that, I'll follow on the motorcycle!

I think there's a 5 missing from your numbers....we could all probably handle 4 degrees, I still don't think we'd be able to catch Ed G though!!! LOL

OK..I did it backwards. I was trying to say take 12:00 on the clock and then wait till 4 mins after..thats how steep it is! Thats it the tip of the roof, 3-storys high, driveway below, hanging on a rope with1-hand and cutting a hole with the other hand. Thats my office! You still up for it?? Jet

OH! and I also run with scissors..lol

Heck ya! About once a year I get to build one of those roof's!!!!! How do you like cutting through those roof tiles?

[jet]

Do you mean clay tiles? Or regular shingles? I havent learned how to do the clay tiles yet, any tips where I could learn? i have my roofing guy do those for me but, I only run into those 1 or twice a year. But on the 20:12 and 12:12's Its a ass whoopin hanging from a string. lol

[docdrs]

forestcityvelodrome.ca one of just a few indoor velo's in North america, and the shortest in the world, thats why its so steep banking

I meant the clay, seems like a diamond bladed grinder on the roof would up the anty a little (compared to a battery op. skilsaw!), not sure what kinda vent would work with those tiles, we don't see a lot of those roof's up here....wait a minute isn't this a boat forum?? LOL

[ifly]

27 09 Worlds 22ssv And 2 kids 3&5 but when Im 37 i will have an old boat but no boat payments. Guss that's the good thing about being old. Or just going 10 years on a lone or just getting one hell of a dill on a O9 worlds 56k but no Bullshit its one hell of a payment. 606.99 So can't wait to get old

[csuggs]

I'm with ya Daniel. Everything (except the house) is paid for, and yes my boat is 24 years old but after restoration it will be as good as new - probably even better in some respects since Viper Customs takes such care with the details. And I'll still have less than $20K in the boat and trailer (that includes the original purchase price) - and all mine.

I'll be 45 in April
24 year-old boat
17 year-old truck

[ifly]

If i had it my way it would be used boat not new one but a happy wife is a happy home something like that

[csuggs]

Nothing at all wrong with a new boat - just not for me. I've got one boy in college now and two more headed that direction in a few short years. I'm with ya on the happy wife, happy home thing! I'd love a new v-drive and a new truck for that matter . . . just not gonna happen any time soon!
