I need to vent-

four years ago when i was 21 I got a chaparral 204 cuddy cabin with a 150 hp mercury on the back and I was king of the world. I could afford to take it out two weekends a month. I make enough money to lease a pretty nice house, payed off my car, eat drink and fish but as gas crept up my trips on the boat went down. Without use I started having problems with hydrolics, the steering locking up at the motor, water in gas and the whole host of things that go wrong with boats that sit for a long time. "wow, my temp gauge doesn't work anymore, damn". Now when I look at knowing I have to drop money into it just to not be able to afford the gas king of the world has turned into one depressed fishermen. :reallycrying
