Two great days in a sportsman's life.

1) The day he finally gets that boat he's dreamed of for years.

then, later

2) The day he finally gets rid of that effing boat that has ruined his
budget and used up his free time in maintenance, for years.


I can relate to that. I've only had two boats over the years (neither
for fly fishing). One was an absolute albatross that I grew to hate
(money pit and it sure took up too much time in maintenance). My
second boat was a more simple boat that was a joy, it had to go when
marriage and kids came into the picture because I was strapped for
money :-(

I'm probably going to end up with a canoe, but when I saw the
information on "drift boats" I was intrigued.
