The New Adventure Begins!

[Rain City]

I'm too excited to not share. My wife is thrilled and my daughter is JACKED for her own bedroom. So barring any issues at survey and sea trial, this is the new rig. YOLO!

Congratulations! Looks very nice, even too nice to see blood and slime on its deck.

Outboards are so last year. Everyone is getting inboards now.

Wow an 180k boat ...nice. Wasn't expecting that. Congrats. Looks like you get both with that one. A cruiser, and can sub as fishing boat as well.

We had a long talk with our financial advisor and he figured pulling a bit out of the retirement savings wasn't going to kill us in the long term. I also sold my work trailer and a bunch of tools to make it happen. It was a huge stretch. But going from a 130 budget to 170 wasn't a huge deal when we considered that getting our future forever boat today was a possibility. The boat shows like new.

With proper care , you should get 2500-3000 hours easy

Yeah exactly Scott above is right. Those motors should last a long time.
