We have an '08 Regal 1900 with a fuel injected Volvo V6. Its great having a lift at the lake, so if you feel like taking it out, its a 10 min load into water instead of a trailer in / trailer out situation.

The second pic is when I pulled it out of storage last year on Mother's Day weekend. We had some freak weather that included a massive snow squall. Made for an interesting 15 mile drive up the lake. I was in my full ski gear.

We're so excited to hit the lake this season on this beauty, literally the only boat that has me snapping my neck to look at as they pass.
Wow - what a beauty. When's the N.E. boat party?

I like to let others spend their money on nice boats that they always seem to want to share with the "boatless". Here are a couple of pictures of one I got to ride in a while ago on the Lake of The Ozarks. She's 38' long with two 502 c.i. power plants making about 800 combined horsepower.

My live-a-board home for 25 years. I bought her when I was working at a shipyard and she was towed in after a fire. Over the course of five years I rebuilt her from the keel up and later sailed her at least once a month for decades. As Houston's population grew through the 90s and 2000's the once easy 30 minute commute to downtown because an hour then 90 minutes each way. Finally had to sell her when my commute to work got unsustainable and my salary couldn't support a home and a 42 foot sailboat.

I never had the "bad" day when I lived aboard. Like most of all the live-a-boards I knew, we self maintained so it was an affordable and sustainable lifestyle. It never turned into the money pit people expect when all the task have to be farmed out.

But not all is lost. One of my former crew members went on to buy a boat himself so I still get time on the water every month.

Hopefully, you at least offer them some fuel money when you ride. We don't expect it because we're taking the boat out anyway but it's always nice when someone rides if they at least offer.

We've always wanted to do one of the poker runs at LOTO but haven't made it up there.

He wouldn't accept any gas money, but my wife and I sent him a thank you card with a gift card when we got home.

That's really sweet and am sure it was appreciated on their end. Anytime we ride with friends either pick up their food and drinks throughout the day or we sneak gas money in their boat bag😂

It's insane........ Obv. not us, she'll have to make do with a covered slip, a far cry from her previous life.

Examples of the lake houses & their boat houses on Winnipesaukee!
