No, not that one.

This one.

Haha. Oh shit. I’m excited and nervous all at once. It’s a 1996 Four Winn’s Sundowner 245 and it’s got a freshly rebuilt engine including the heads. Apparently the dealer repossessed it when the previous owner couldn’t pay the repair bill. A couple seats are a bit rough but nothing that can’t be fixed. I own a boat! Holy shit!

That is super nice - what power? (That beefy Volvo Penta package they offered?)

So jealous! I freaking loved owning a boat! Good time will be had that is for sure. Enjoy and post about it often so I can live vicariously through you. Seriously do a boating tips post when your ready. I have a few things that are simple that saved me and or increased my enjoyment.

Yea I know it’ll cost money, but it’s for entertainment not investment

I know I’m just being a wise ass as the owner of a money pit.

Big lakes are the best lakes! I kept mine on lake Ontario. Kept it in the water every day possible. Know some like to tow but I loved just popping down whenever I wanted. It was not nearly as nice as yours but I bought it cheap maintained it myself and sold it 5 years later with no loss other than dock slip fees and general maintenance.   http://oppositelock.kinja.com/anyone-else-got-something-they-are-really-missing-wishi-1197984350

We’ve been up there a couple times and rented a boat, but it will be so much nicer having our own
