Boats from the last 3 decades are big, heavy, slow, laboring pigs. These boats are adorned with trend based graphics to give the appearance of "high performance" yet they are rarely fast and never quick (like your last boat's flame job Mr. Grads). It's not uncommon to see a boat with reverse tribal flames and it's owner having a matching tattoo around his upper arm. :gayfight2: Owners of these newer generation of barge may have started out in a smaller jet propelled craft and likely (because they had no mechanical aptitude) had oil leaks, fires and many breakdowns.
The only fix was to take a 2nd out on their house (amidst an about-to-pop housing bubble) and buy something overpriced with a warranty to stay afloat. Safety blanket, thumb sucking, high freeboard heavy weight boats are boring to drive or ride in. You can't see the water much less drag your hand in just idling along and you look like a complete dork boating anywhere but in the ocean.
It's common to see barge boats beached or anchored together because it's actually more fun to sit parked blaring music (that nobody wants to hear) than to actually use these boats for boating. Plus it's easier to feed the alcoholism needed to get over the divorce these owners all went through after buying fake boobs for there now "ex wives".
:D:D
