haha, yes me and my dad have had a lot fof boats and its true evrything costs money. Getting it to the water, from the water home, the gas on the boat, oil, bateries and fixing problems. We were expecting this we only bought it for $2500. We are gonna keep it on a trailer in the driveway and put a sign on the garage, "Marina-gas dock 2 miles" thank you guys for all the inpt on the fish and depthfiniders.
