What do you guys/gals do to pay for your addiction?

Unless you just have money to burn it's definately a hobby you must love to do it. The boat payment & ins. is only just the beginning. There's always ice, food, beer, gas, wake/skate/surf boards, vests, ropes, gas, and more gas!

Oh I know, believe me! I've been on the water my whole life; I just haven't owned a boat of my own yet. Last spring one of my buddies bought a 23' Yamaha that I've spent about every day on from May to September, lol. The ski/wake boat is actually a compromise with myself; I was hoping to buy a 37' Formula SS this spring, but I decided the 'responsible adult' thing to do would be keep the cash in the bank and just help my dad get a boat that he really wants. In a year or 2 I'll hopefully be buying the big boat, but for now I'll at least have some fun behind a Moomba or Supra!

Responsibility should be classified as a four-letter word. Right ?!?

For me the biggest addiction is after several attempts, and face plants, I finally pull off a new trick on my wakeboard. The feeling is undescribable! It's a huge rush and I count the days till I can go back and do it again. It's a passion man!

I know! I'm very excited to get on the water behind a boat meant for boarding. The twin engine jet boat doesn't produce the greatest conditions for wakeboarding, but like I always say; If I'm in/on the water, I'm happy.
