I haven't spent any money other than fuel and 4 spark plugs in over 10 years on my 99 fish/ski boat. I guess I just got lucky but it's been one of the best things I've bought! Far better than any vehicle I've owned and it was far cheaper as well
“Babe! What’s the towing capacity of my Tacoma? I thought you’d know.” This whole video is my marriage. This is also the reason we are “boat rental people”.
You hit the nail on the head with this one!! We are dying laughing. I just bought a boat a few weeks ago and 1. It’s old 2. I drive a Tacoma 3. My wife struggled backing it in the water 4. It didn’t start after we got it off the trailer. 5. Boat envy is REAL! 😂😂😂
Funny thing is I didn't have that problem with my new boat. It was a '98 but new to me, however, one time the starter didn't work right so I had to hit on it and then it finally turned on. And then I bought a new starter and I got it replaced. That was about a thousand joking. It wasn't that much. Maintenance is high but if you learn how to do some other stuff yourself it's not that high. But it's always really high
My father loved his boat more than he loved life. Growing up, I figured the boat was gonna break down every other trip because his boat envy led to "upgrades" on the engine. I legit thought he was gonna divorce my mom one year when she left the prop down before loading it onto the trailer and didn't figure it out until after we'd towed it all the way up the ramp. It took him months to recover mentally from the loss of that prop
My parents always had a boat, grew up on the water making memories. Now I'm a father of 2 I've had one boat or another since I was 20. Couldn't imagine not owning one.
Right on brother, could not have said it better myself. For people who complain about the cost, you can't take it with you. Spend it now, or your adult kids will.
I am thinking of getting a boat for this exact reason... Want to enjoy life a little. I have 2 jet skis, they are a lot of fun and if I add a boat the whole family can get out on the water...
Well done! The boat ramp footage and editing was very impressive. To be able to script all of that, the different camera angles and on top of that do some of it while others assumedly were actually launching their boats. Much respect ✊ 😅
and the day you get so fed up with it and "accidentally" forgot about the plug and then years later see it covered in mud in the former lake mead floor bed as people on utube are checking out the latest discovery 🤣
I will never understand why the least qualified person in any group seems to be the one in charge of backing the boat into the water. I taught my friend real quick how to back the boat off the trailer and pull up to the dock safely to pick me up.
I bought my first sailboat in 1993. I've owned three. I didn't sell any because of this. I sold because someone offered more money than worth. So I sold and upgraded. Love every minute of it.
Yep, some forms of boating are extremely cheap. I've got a jonboat that's got a 2000 Johnson and has had 0 problems I couldn't easily fix for $50-100. Total spent is under $3000 and I've had it for years. Use it 2-4 times a week. Buddy got a 1979 Catalina 22 for $3000 and we sailed all over the Chesapeake bay for a few years on it without issues. Not all boats fall under the B.O.A.T acronym. Really seems to be most true with the I/O lake boats and V drive boats that everyone wants for whatever reason.
This video made me laugh sooooo hard as we in this stage of our lives right now. We just got a boat a few weeks ago and we too are going through these stages. I love it.
@@s3ntin3l60 no, I love my boat. But we totally looked, bought 1, and in the stage of spending money on it before taking it out. And haven't gotten to the point of changing or upgrading yet, lol.
My buddy told me its cheaper to rent a sailboat. I explained to him the boat is mine the house belongs to my wife. She doesn't visit my boat unless i invite her down to it. We are very happy!
Definitely a lot easier to get your boat in the water when you have a house on the lake. My uncle and aunt live in the house and our boats are docked with a simple lever system
Had my boat for 7 years. Just bought a newer and bigger one. Always buy brand new, and get the warranty. Also never trailer your boat, park it at a marina so all you have to do is show up, and head out.
We own two trailered boats (sailboat and motorboat), I would HIGHLY recommend keeping them on trailer and learning to do your maintenance. The costs go from tens of thousands to a thousand. (Marinas are not a friend when it comes to money economy 😂)
This reminds me of when I was a kid. We had a 10-year old pontoon boat. Funny thing is that I don't ever remember it breaking; my dad did a good job winterizing it and those pontoon boats are much simpler than speed boats, runabouts or cruisers for sure.
They are expensive, alot of work and burn alot of fuel. With Water skiing, sandbar picnics and date night cruises, I could not think of a better way to spend my money.
Omg this is facts!!! as I’m getting our boat ready to go for the weekend you forgot the best part trying to relax and all I hear all day is “dad can we tube now”
Man that last bit had me rolling... and then the last bit had me dying! But seriously tho. This is why you always bring your own water and never buy beer at restaurants.
I think you can insert about any toy into this video and it would be the same. I keep debating on getting an side-by-side but then I wonder if it’s going to be a money hog! I had a camp trailer that was older and it seem to have problems all the time as well.
I drove around a Polaris ranger 400 for nearly 6 years daily. I worked maintenance for a large sub division and took it off road, over curbs, on streets. You will assume the normal wear and tear but honestly they are pretty simple to work on too. A lot of videos online. They are great to have for the utility aspect alone.
I’ve owned 4 boats and 1 side x side… so far, the side x side is a way better cost to value / fun ratio. I do love boats, but I’ve realized that I don’t necessarily love owning boats.
Don’t forget the day before it goes up for sale. “Welp, this is it……all that time and money for this…..just cruising on the water……yep…..it’s windy, I’m cold, im done.”
To be fair, my John boat can’t into big open waters like that style boat, but $20 in gas & 2 stroke oil and I can go out for the next month 💁♂️ I like creeks and lakes anyways.
Dudes. Summer before last boat a 1986 boat with the lady. I mean every single part was spot on. Except second boat purchase. Nearly slipped laughing in the shower when the engine died in the water. It all progressed just like that too for us.
I thought it was horseshoe! My hubby & I camped there for 2 weeks one summer (fulltime RV travelling) and the cars in the background driving by as they are "discussing" why the boat isn't running gave it away!
I’ve been a witness to the frustration of owning a boat since age 4, dad bought a 77 Bertram with 2 engines and stern drives, outdrive service is a thousand, trailering and winterizing is about a thousand, A full tank of gas is over 700 bucks, everything is about a thousand. Anyone here thinking about buying a boat get one with outboards or inboards, stern drives are money pits
A friend of mine, who used to have a boat, always told me there are 2 great moments with owning a boat: the day you buy it, and the day you finally sell it.
Holly shit this video cracked me the f up 😂😂😂😂 this is exactly what happened to me and my girlfriend. 😅😅 Down to the T. I am still dying laughing. I watched this 30 times
It's like the old line "You only have two happy days when you own a boat, the first is when you buy the boat... the other is when you manage to sell the bastard."
My uncle gave us his boat. I did not want it. My mom was excited to get it. The boat requires a fair bit of cosmetic work but is in overall decent condition. Thing is, we don't have the time to go on any body of water and I'm more wanting a camper than a boat because at least the camper can be used as a temporary cabin if guests come over. I'm hoping she'll see the light when she sees how expensive having a boat is. I don't want the boat.
I bought a used boat this past April. It proceeded to snow almost the entire month after that. This was followed by very warm temps and the snow run off made many area waters too high and fast to land the thing. Now it hasn't rained for a month and the water levels are too low at many landings. Buy a boat, it's an exciting experience!
I’ve been a boater since 2005 and because I maintained my boat I didn’t break down all the time like people do. When I buy a boat I go through it and replace a the stuff that wears out. Like my last boat before I even put it in the water I put a new alternator, starter, water pump, sea pump, belt, 2 batteries, rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, plugs and wires, coil, bilge pump and keep the old one for a spare incase of emergency so it’s set up to be used immediately, the rubber bellows and because I do all this maintenance I don’t break down on a Saturday afternoon and ruin the day but 99% of boaters do absolutely zero maintenance then complain when it breaks down.
So true, a lot of people buy a boat without educating themselves what maintenance it requires... and they arrive on the ramp only to find out the boat will not start or crank because the battery is weak. Simple common sense would have save your day by making sure to start the boat before heading to the marina.
Great vid, reality of it though is it all depends on if you’re humble or not lol. My partner bought me a boat for Christmas this year, $500, 14ft fibreglass playmate, good overall condition and all still original. So far I’ve spent $250 on servicing and other minor repairs as required (2nd year apprentice mechanic). Looking at another $260 for boat and trailer rego and that’s it. Just something to go out fishing in and having a great day out with the fam. It’s all I could ever want. 100% will not be “bout another thousand” that’s for sure lol. If your humble you won’t break the bank, if your flashy and gotta have the best of it all then good luck to you lol
I got a family cottage in muskoka Canada. We still have a 1989 16ft charger with reinforced transom, 150xr2 racing engine from a tunnel hull race boat it’s got the 250 modVP lower unit with high flow racing prop, hot foot so you can drive with two hands and a custom gas tank because the engine chews gas. It does 87 mph and tosses water 150ft. We just got the lower unit rebuilt and it’s starting to become very hard finding parts for it. I hope pops passes or down to me so I can take it further with a custom paint job hydraulic lift and tilt and a brand new updated interior. I’ve been boating now for 35 years almost every weekend I can.
I’ve always heard that you don’t want a boat, you want a friend with a boat who will invite you along lol

That will cost you about $1000.

"Yeah that'll be about a thouthan."
If you can pull out a few crisp $100 bills, light them on fire and watch them burn up without any distress, you are almost ready to own a boat.
