$1000 E-Tec

[JoeBro44]

I picked my 10 year old son up for the summer this week and took him out in the boat for a little fishin trip on Mississippi last night. After blasting around the river for a while we stopped to fish and he told me he really liked the new motor. after some discussion I told him to guess how much that motor costs. He thought for a second and said $1000. I told him it was $15000. After some silence he looked at me and said, "that was money well spent!". Oh how right he is. Now if my wife could only think like that!

I can remember when $15,000 would have paid for the boat,motor and garage

If only your wife could think period! Tell Calvin I said hi and will see him this weekend. does he want to start paying a third of it?

Heck Inky,
1989 Champion 201 tournament Fish N Ski with GT 150, champion trailer (single axle) custom canvas, TCR 1-ID on console TCR 101 on bow, etc was $20K back then. Anything worth having is $35-50+K ! But it is all relevant as everything cost more, I guess a 10-15% price increase isn't too bad over 15 years and the good thing about SC is if the boat is over the 15 year time frame no property tax .
