Could not wait any longer. Fired off today no problems. She is in the water year around and I am on the boat often. I think it really makes a difference when batteries are charging and we are turning stuff on in the off season.

Anyway... Would be an interesting survey. What is the average age of our Big M owners?

I am 63 and getting younger.. Yea right!

Each year I appreciate getting on the water more!

Have a great and safe boating season.

safe boating,

dave

Sorry to blow the nice bell curve you all got going on here but I am 45 and been boating since before i was born, really was a family affair at our house. My buddy I boat with the most is the same age and it seems we are the ones in our Marina carrying the torch for going the most and burning up fuel these days. Have had at least a dozen different boats or more over the years and have recently in the last 2 years given up all of my other hobbies to spend more time on the water boating. I have a goal to make a major "new to me trip" each year in the BigM I recently purchased. The draft and the trailerability of this boat make it the best choice for me for this purpose. I need to do the bigby going south out of Cairo, a loop around Michigan and the Tennesse river from Chattanogga to the lake as my top 3 for now with the Tenn river and the Michigan loop being a toss up for the first depending on how this summer plays out.
