When i bought mine, i started out lookin' for a 14' with a 25hp. The Misses was up for the purchase so I took her to the boat show....... We were sitting in the 14 with a huge smile on my face and she said "I can't get comfortable in this" then she looked over and said "How about that one?"
Well folks, it's been a few years and a whack of payments but I love my V-170 60hp and yes I do dream about that really nice 20' with the 200hp, but the payments kinda burst the bubble, if ya know what I mean!
It took a few years and a bunch more cash to set it up with all the toys and when i think about it, it's now custom made for the way I fish. Funny thing is I'm out every weekend from May to December and the Wife goes in the boat maybe twice a year.
So remember guys, if yer Wife likes ta shop, you gotta take her to the right stores!!!
Come on snow, MELT!!!!!!!!
