I would steer clear of any of the Blackberry models, RIM is going down the toilet fast...

I was an avid Blackberry fanatic until I got my iPhone...world of difference.  My company gave me a Droid Incredible 2 and I really have yet to figure it out.  I prefer the iPhone. 

If you're tech savvy, there are better smartphones on the market than iPhones or Droids; they just don't have the cult following (or app support).


My wife has both a Blackberry (work) and an iPhone (personal).  She LOVES the iPhone and hates the Blackberry.  I've also heard that the BBerry is on it's way out.  I have an iPhone and swear by it.  It's easy to use, plenty of apps and reliable.

For those of you that don't read German... this is the sign they're talking about.  The white sign beneath it reads "Please, not so fast".  Funny how things get lost in translation. :P

I've been browsing thru Craigslist and other sites to start getting a feel for what's out there. 

How far back do y'all think I can go back safely?  Initially I was thinking of 2000s, but some of the boats back to the mid-90s look decent.  Of course, I'm seeing the sharp drop in price as years go on.  What would be a good year boat?

Actually, I forgot to mention that I do want something that can be trailered.  For now, I'm trying to avoid keeping it in the water.  I have the space to keep a boat.  And I have a rig capable of towing.  Anything above 25ft, and I would probably have to get a bigger truck, but by that point, I think I'd be looking at other options anyways.

I do like the idea of being able to trailer a boat because I have different rivers, the bay and locations near the ocean. 

One other thing you might wanna check is the towing capacity of the rig you will be using; a 25 foot tandem can be fun behind a small tow vehicle, did that once not again. Even though the tow rating was there.

If you are gonna dock it; look into the yearly dock rates some are scary . . . Otherwise you will be trailering it every time you want to use it, takes the fun out fast if you have to deal with traffic etc.

As far as maintenance, no biggy as most have said here.

Oh and I forgot    Boat = Bring on Another Thousand

I posted this on tbs.com, but since everyone is here, I thought I'd post on here and hear y'alls opinions.

If everything works out well, I think we'll be ready to take the plunge. We've had jet skis for a few years, so we're not 'new' to the water. Of course, I know there's a big difference between a jet ski and a boat. We've been going to the boat shows for the past couple of years and have seen a lot of what we like.
 
 For our first boat, we've pretty much settled on a bow rider.  We'll probably go with something in the 22' - 25' range.  Our main use will be on the bay, although we will like also travel some rivers here in MD. 
 
 I've been trying to get a feel for what brands of boats to avoid.  My wife made the conditions of buying a boat very clear.  NO PROJECTS!!  I really agree with her on this one.  Even though I'll likely be buying used and understand there's always maintenance and the occasional repair involved, I don't want to do a ground up resto. 
 
 Also, I'm trying to get a fix on prices.  We went to Bass Pro and looked at the line of boats they have there and then compared that to what you can get used to see what the depreciation looks like.  WOW!! 
 
 I post to hear your thoughts.  This place has always been a great source of good info and insight... so let's hear it.
 
 Thanks.

First thing I did after I bought my G8 was to remove the onstar box and replace it with a bluetooth adapter.   I always knew they would pull this type of shit.

Same here!  OnStar is a big POS.  Waste of money.

Good job Mark.
