Hang in the Freebird.  A boat is what you make of it. I've heard for years that the two best days of owning a boat was the first and last, but I disagree.  I love the water and if I could be on the water more, I give up riding. To have a boat to live on for a few days would be the best way to go.  I've looked at the same size cabin cruisers as yours because I don't want to be tied to one lake.  That's why I've kept my Dodge truck..
