I have waterfront. Bought a boat a few years before the house. Used to trailer up to the lake most every weekend and use the boat a ton (gas was much cheaper too!) Bought a house on 2002. Since then boat usage has plummented. Many reasons why.....to many other things to do (home maintenance)......can park my butt in chair on the dock now...... gas isnt cheap.......from July 4th - Labor day - weekend boating is no joy unless your up with the sun..............kids arent around as much.....fishing isnt what it used to be..........
I probably am in the minority with these thoughts but if my boat ever died I think I could be just s happy with a smaller aluminum boat and 15-25hsp 4 stroke.
