I have been spoiled. I learned to ski behind a comp. tow boat and have pretty much only skiied with extremely serious slalom fanatics. Fortunately they were patient enough to teach me. Unfortunately, it takes quite a bit to get me excited because everything after those boats is a let down.

I would much rather cycle than boat.

"A boat is a hole in the water into which your money will continually flow."

-cactus Roy (a dear friend of mine).

I'd love a boat some day but I just don't think I want that kind of attachment.

If you buy a boat you take on a lot of other baggage.
1- What do you use to tow it?
2- Where do you park it?
3- Where do you store it in the winter?

Then you have some boat owners who become "one trick ponies" because they feel obligated to boat every weekend possible in order to get the benefit of having paid for a boat.
