Im with carson blocks, The first year we got out lots but by year 2 and 3 the novelty wore off fast and i was pretty fed up with my buddies who thought buying lunch/beers was fair compensation for me doing everything else. I'll admit i had no idea what it took to own a boat, all i saw was the picture the dealer painted lol The storage, winterization wasnt too bad but what really killed me was the clean up afterwards. I was beat from being out all day then having to tow it home and clean it out by myself really sucked.
