We get letters, #8:

"Mr.HB, do you have another job or business aside from Hotboat.com? If so, how difficult is it to balance the two? Also, is having your own website more work than you thought it would be? And do you ever have those days where you wish you didn't have the burden of running HB.com?

Thank you! "

Yes
Somewhat difficult
Yes
Yes

Those are the short answers, I'll try to give a brief response. First and foremost I am a boater. Have been for a long time. I love all boats, big, small, fast, and slow. As long as it has an internal combustion engine, the water is clear, and the beer is cold, I'm a happy camper.

That being said, I had a pretty good idea what I was getting myself in to when we started this thing back up. Both the time and financial investment, so no surprise there. My real job is intense right now, we're in our busy season and we are very busy. So that combined with this is adding up to big hours lately. But I know it won't always be like this and before you know it we'll be back on the water and work work will ease up a bit so we can enjoy all the hard work, so I'm ok with it.

As far as HB being a burden? I don't feel that way. When and if the day comes that it does become a burden or no more fun, I'll turn left or right and make a change. But I don't see that happening.

Now enough about the inner workings of HB. Lets get some boating questions please.
