Location: Minocqua, WI | What's the ideal boat? Like Mr. Sled says, you can get yourself a temporary boat, but try not to overinvest in it knowing that you may eventually sell it.
I recently went thru a similar pickle myself these last 2.5 years, though not as drastic because I had a few inexpensive fixer-upper boats in the garage to get by with. I was looking for a specific Ranger, but my only option was to go used and identify my maximum spending limit because I did not want loans for fancy new nor go thru any dealer. Well, two years of hard work and saving and looking went by, I saved a significant sum of money, my patience paid off and my dream boat was acquired this April.
It took a long time. It was the longest wait of my life. But........
Wait it out till the piggy bank explodes, but be ready to strike for a deal. They're out there if you act fast. The conservative approach can be much better for future than present and your bank account likely won't feel much aftereffects. |
