My parents are out of town. This mostly matters because it’s their boat I use. I suppose I could ask to use it without them . . . although what would I do if something happened to it while I was borrowing it? Commit hara kiri? Enter the Witness Protection Program? Sell my kidney(s) to replace it? Besides, they took the truck and my little plastic car can’t tow a boat.

But I am itching to get on the lake! Who wants to take me? I’m not even that picky about boat brand–although a Supra would be great. Moombas are nice too, but they didn’t quite make me drool at this year’s Boat Show.

But what if you’re just thinking about buying a boat? I’d suggest you start in a Supra or Moomba rather than a cheaper, less . . . [fill-in-the-blank-yourself] brand. Why? Because every single boat owner I know has upgraded. I don’t know a single one who was happy with their first purchase for more than three years. So do yourself a favor–buy a boat you can grow into and that will have a nice resale value.

And no, they didn’t pay me to say any of that.

Marine Products is the OFFICIAL PRO SHOP for the new Billabong Wake Video “OUT OF THE POND“.
