haha, yeah...there is no way it's a pontoon.

Pontoons are nice to have if you want to cruise, party or spend a lot of time on the water in. Ski boats are better for recreation, but not as much fun for spending the day on. I personally would not own a boat unless I had a place close to or on the water. My parents live in a lake community and have a pontoon, but they don't have a boat slip to park the boat in. It's a pain in the ass having to take it in and out everyday.

We have a lake (man made) that's about 10 minutes away, and we have a river that runs through town, although it's very small and shallow. A lot jet skis on it. I really want a yacht. I'm not refering to one of those monsters, I am referring to a boat that has a sleeping section underneath. We commonly think of a yacht as some luxury for the rich and a boat that is 3 times bigger than it needs to be...but they make sensible yachts now, plenty 50k or under. You can even get a nice big one used for well under 100k. But I don't make enough money to allow that. Thus I am looking at a 9k boat.
