Yeah, the kid thing is kind of a mess. Momma has some pretty serious health issues and has more brain tumors that will need to be operated on. Her dad went through this just awhile back, they fucked him up and ow he cant see and eats through a tube. Bottom line, I could never look my child in the face and tell them "mommy as died" or "mommy is now a vegetable" so we are going to skip that phase in our life and buy a big ol boat and name it "our child"..... At one point we were ready to buy a 34 aft cabin carver that was permanently moored in Portland, but have decided that we would like to be a bit more mobile, so it seems that these larger offshore style boats are the best fit. Id REALLY like to do 100, BUT I know thats not in the financial cards right now, and to be honest my ol lady is a PUSSY about speed and she'd shit if I ran her up to a hundo! She WILL NOT ride in my hydro. Last time it was out, she called one of our friends to come pick her up from the dock! That being said, and reality setting in, if I can score a boat that will cruise at about 55-60 at 1.5MPG and a top speed of mid to high 70s Ill be content (I hope).
Then I see shit like this and I have second thoughts.
