dogdoc Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 i went to Bass Pro Shop and dropped TOO much money on a new trolling motor and as I was waiting for the sales guy to go back and get the motor out of storage I noticed a man and woman in their upper 50's looking at a new bass boat. Sticker price of a little over $20,000. This guy was really wanting this boat---the boat sales rep had just left them to go get a loan application and this poor woman was pretty stressed--but the guy had a look on his face like he had just watched his first born enter the world. You could tell the wife was really trying to talk him out of it---then she dropped the bomb........ "But honey--this boat cost more than our home did." The color drained out of the poor guys face---then my trolling motor showed up so I didn't get to see the end fo the transaction Moral of the story----NEVER take your wife to Bass Pro Shop when your planning on buying a boat that cost more than your home todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Re: \"But Honey\"..... Great advice Todd. Thanks. Funny you brought that up. As I was painting my dad's house, I was reminiscing with him, and I asked what he paid for the house. "$14,495....." It's not a mansion, just a little 1000 sq ft home in the burbs, but $14,495 with a $98 mortgage payment is just unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you buy a boat....get a good boat cover so you will still have a roof over your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Re: \"But Honey\"..... Sorry guys I just don't see the use in spending 20K on a boat. But I live on the lake and see some awesome deals on boats all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Re: \"But Honey\"..... WOW...Was I ever relieved to find out that this was not another deer poop post...ROFLMBO I have had that happen...but its been in the past at the bow shop when I took my wife along.
