I planned on buying 50% of my old boat back from my brother since we live down the street from each other again, but he is being a bit of a bitch about it.... he is trying to charge me MORE than 50% of what I sold it to him for, 4 years ago.... somehow the boat has appreciated in his mind (maybe I should buy in since its going up in value).
.... anyways, the other option I've looked into is a 2004 Wakesetter LSV. 300 hours, completely loaded, 1 owner - an old couple down the street, the husband passed away so the wife is selling the boat and the house to move closer to her family. Boat is insanely perfect shape for its age. She told me $30k, my guess is I can get it down slightly from there, but lets assume $30k. I'm very anal about keeping up on maintenance and given the boat's current shape, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't make it another 10-15 years without too much trouble
The short version of my current finances is this:
* After 100% of my bills are paid (401ks/cars/house/cell phones/insurance, etc etc etc,even including things like Netflix) my wife and I have $3,000/mo. left to live on. We currently live on $250/wk. for food, gas, misc living items and the remaining $2000 just gets dumped into our savings and every 6-months gets moved to longer term investments or put into updates on the house.
So, since I'm back living on the lake.... could I / should I spring for the LSV?! My concern is if I , in like 4/5 years we plan on popping out the first kid, so if I wait it may be a long time til I can swing it again.
