I owned 3 boats and it's a lot like racing, you need to keep going bigger and better, the last one had twin engines and was too big for a trailer.
I also ran SG for years and I'm currently building a stocker. I can tell you from experience the race car is actually cheaper!

I like Pedigo Perf's comment! I started out witha 45 hp Walleye boat, now up to 300 hp. That is as high as they go, but Tracker just came out with one rated for a 350 hp.....oh no!

Thanks for words of encouragement everyone! I was actually second guessing myself as it has been a long long time since I have not had a ready to race car in the garage.

I like your pic Art, great catch!!

It's funny how we (guys) think isn't it. This thing needs to be bigger and more power. It applies to everything from the race cars, boats law mowers etc, lol

It's not really a money thing as much as a change of scenery. Boat stands for Break Out Another Thousand, i get it, lol. I have 2 beautiful daughters (10 and 12) and an amazing wife who I think deserve some attention and its the least I could do. The wife can't believe I sold it all and was always supportive of the racing. I figure I have a few years left before the kids hate me so I might as well take advantage of it, lol

I still got a hot street car or 2 so I'll never get the car thing out of my blood but for now just kicking back and enjoying the family and soaking up some sun is just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks again guys!!

Thanks
BTW my car is for sale too.
As far as a bigger boat goes I don't think so I've owned them up to 65 feet and at times it was too small.
When I grow up I want to be like you. LOL
