Phew! Then there's hope for me. I recently bought a 9' Pond Prowler.
I
refer to it as my 36' fishing boat--that's square feet. Even then, that
might be a stretch. I don't think it is quite 4' wide. Maybe in 5
years
I'll be up to the jon boat. How long from there to the Champion?

When my wife first met me, back in 1994, I had a 14' rowboat with a 1963
Johnson outboard (believe it or not, I guided out of that boat!), with
home-made platforms and a cooler for a livewell. Top speed, 14 mph.

I upgraded to a 16' aluminum boat, still with home-made decks and a cooler
livewell, but this one had console steering and a 40 hp Mariner.

I sold that, bought a 17' Tuffy Bassin' Marauder with a 75 hp Force
outboard, now with factory decks and a real livewell.

I sold that boat, bought a 19' ProCraft SuperPro 190 with a 175 hp Merc
EFI
and two years ago traded that in on my current boat, a 21'6" Cobra Coosa
with a Merc 250XB high performance outboard. Top speed, 81.6 mph.

My wife is afraid of what I'm going to come home with next.....

You mean you sell a boat? Actually I am selling one of mine, the 14'
aluminum. But still have my canoe from 1975 era, my kayak, 2000 era, 21'
big boat 1995, and float tube, got drunk at a charity dinner era. I do love
my yak and the float tube. And if it would get a little warmer and less
foggy, I would take out the 21' Jetcraft. But off to the Fred Hall show is
San Francisco tomorrow, and look at bigger boats. Would like a 27-28'
trailerable cruiser. Then road trip! British Columbia and Florida with
maybe a barge ride of the boat to St. Thomas. Dang, better buy more lotto
tickets.
