PS.. what kind of boat are you looking for Mr soon-to-be-hobo

I hear ya Nilsen...I've tried many times to show her how ridiculous a pool is in the Pacific Northwest. She says "Pool" I say "Foolish, short season". She says "Pool heater" and I say "Foolish, expensive to heat". She says "No sex" and I say "Okay, when do you want the pool...."

I'm partial to many 27 footers, but these two have my eye as of recent:

Rinker 270: (its actually a 30 footer, but will fit in the garage)

i will say Rip... you house looks all nice and secluded and on a huge lot from the front...

but duyamn man can you get neighbors any closer in the back? plant soem trees or something, that looks like zero privacy in your back yard.

LOL.. "no sex" works everytime

I liked the Rinker best. More water capacity and smoother lines. The Campion looks too tall.

That's not my fence by the way...I wanted a "Green Belt" fence, but the people who bought that house originally put up a cedar fence. Part of it has already blown down in a wind storm and rebuilt. Looks like crap. I'm still planning to put up pickle trees down that length to hide the fence.

Agreed, but I've got a Campion 542 right now, and their fit and finish is some of the best I've seen in a fiberglass boat. Don't matter, still gotta wait...

Those look nice and sleek, Nilsen (under 30 footers that I looked at) I'm looking for more creature comforts rather than a sporty look, though.

LOL....dammit, someone beat me!

I feel your pain on fences and neighbors. The guy that lives behind me is the R in Redneck. I mentioned putting up a fence, maybe splitting the cost and he went on abuot how he can build one easy! (Sure, from a man who cant mow a lawn...)

So at some point I'll just eat the cost and put my own fence up.

might want to plant some decent trees like emerald aborviateas. At least they get better with age.

It has to be a hedge. That area is used for pulling up in the rig with boat, then backing into the garage. Trees would narrow that passage to the point that I couldn't back the boat into the garage.

However...I did recently install a front hitch on the truck, so I could essentially put the boat in with the front of the truck now...hmmmm...

Nice pool Rip....

How many AH'ers would fit into it at one time?
