[QUOTE="pharaoh2, post: 171622, member: 4445"] iboats doesn't seem to run so well on my computer but it seems to me that you have two different classes of boat owners. (no offence to anyone) There are guys who own a boat as a status symbol. They like to spend big bucks on a boat and like to show it off. Then you have the guys who like to own a boat to play with and use. Generally speaking, this group of people can't neccesarily afford a giant ski boat. If they could, they'd probably just buy a new boat instead of restoring or modding an older boat. I fit into this group. I have more respect for the second group. They put all their love into creating somthing with what they have and do the best they can without having to pay for it. A guy could buy a fancy rig and say "Look what I bought" Or a guy could buy a plain boat and say "Imagine what I can do" Of course there may be some overlap between the two groups, but I can honestly say I personally know of none. I do know people who are far better off then I. You can see it from the house they live it to the car that they drive. These people also own boats but would never dream of owning a 'tin boat'. I also know others who, like me, are just regular working class folks. They don't take anything too seriously and genuinly enjoy life. And of this group, they all enjoy nothing more then bobbing in the middle of a lake with a fishing rod, a friend and don't worry about trying to impress anybody. [/QUOTE]
