Boating quick fact: 95 percent of powerboats on the water in the U.S. are 26 feet or under.

Since most of us have 28 feet and more BigM s....that make all of us part of the elite 5%......

Hmmm... Agree that owning (as soon as she's paid off) a BigM is special.

... and being in the top 5% is pretty cool. But when I pull out the billfold, reality tells me whatever I am, it's not rich.

gas/paint/brewskies/whatever..."

I may have to sneak into Jeff's backyard with a metal detector and shovel...

Interesting statistics. Of all those boats over 26 feet, I wonder what % are M’s? On Ft Loudoun M numbers would put them close to the top, with Sea Ray apearing to be the most numerous large boat.

 You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to

Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Jeff...still 89 here but price went up.

I just filled today (probably last fill time to put her to bed). After my new bottom paint and re-pitched wheels my last run was 80 miles and I used 53 gal.

An improvement from the other props.
