Fist let me say congrats on buying a house up here.
We bought our lake house 5 years ago. And for the fist few years I was happy not having a boat as we had so many things to do. We did have a jetski so I was happy with that and bringing friends out. But it is hard when you have a big family and a dog they would have to wait turns. But my husband sure was not happy with that he missed boating so we will be boating again this year. I agree with there is lots of great deals on used boat.
Goo luck on your decision!
