Happy to see you enjoying the boat :mahman:
5 minutes after I posted this, wife suggested a birthday cruise, float, and :dock: on the water and within 10 minutes, we were idling the boat out into the bay. Anchored 15 minutes away at an empty sand bar, jumped in the water, floated with some beers :dock: ed a few times, got back on the boat, did some doughnuts and esses, came back after a few hours, excellent afternoon.

I love the boat, but only in this instance. I'd never advocate for trailering and launching all the time, that's more stress than it's worth. I want to hit the water and roll with minimal effort.

That said, this destroys a Veyron for enjoyment for me. I can't imagine something more fun in my circumstance. Cars just get me to where I can have fun, they aren't the destination anymore.
:jelly:
You have a pretty damn ideal boat life setup. Keep on enjoying it!

Do you have these in something? They've always intrigued me, just :notsure: about durability.

My dad in his 300. They look amazing in his car, fit perfectly, and seem to be doing well, although he rarely drives that car in the winter.

He has a cuckback for winter duties

Blue CRV Hybrid EX-L with gray leather interior
Paid MSRP plus $395 rape
Trade in on CMax covered payoff. So like $3200. Took it up the pooper a tad there but Carvana was only offering $4500 so whatever.
Came with wheel locks and nothing else

There are times when you should feel bad about paying MSRP for a car. Being in the depths of COVID-19 supply chain issues with a Ford that is shedding body parts like dead skin is NOT one of those times.
