sea tonic

can you tell us where the boat is located??

Five years ago I was scheduled for my 50 yr colonscopy. As the day got closer for the test, I was getting more and more anxious. I went to the pharmacy, picked up the gigantic bottle of PEG. Came home and started drinking.....and drinking....and you know ......and drinking some more.....I got to the point when I said to my wife, "I can't take any more of this and there's nothing left inside of me anyway!!"" She goes to look at the prescription to check on how much I'm supposed to drink, then looks at the time for when the procedure is scheduled........comes back to me and says "the procedure's not tomorrow, it's the next day!!!!"" WHAT!!! I'm not going through this again tomorrow night!!" I was so anxious about the procedure that I got the day mixed up and thought that it was a day earlier than it actually was. My wife quickly got on the phone, called the GI attending on call and was able to get the hospital to squeeze in my procedure the following day! I'll never forget that!!.

My first official boat was a 17 ft cc seapro with a 90 hp yamaha. I bought it seven years ago and besides normal maintainence, it has held up rather well. A friend of mine with a wife and two small children has a 17ft KeyWest and they like it's size for inshore fishing. I'd imagine that you could find a 4-5 year old 17-18 ft cc in your price range rather easily. These size boats seem perfect for inshore fishing with a small family. But as the children get bigger and they want to start enjoying other water activities besides fishing, you may find the 17cc inadequate. So, you may want to consider a 18-20ft dual console. Again, there should be plenty of those in your price range. Whatever you look at, be sure to have it checked over by a professional. Many marine service centers will perform surveys for you for a reasonable fee. Just my thoughts. Good Luck.
