Speak up.

For myself, it's being on a trailer and within striking distance of our local Channel Islands, Morro Bay, and Eric's Tackle in Ventura. The shitt! Let's not forget she's paid off too

The 2 things I like best about my boat are:

1. Its located right next to my girlfriends boat.

2. Its an awesome sportfisher and a floating condo.

Yeah my boat is pretty sweet.

I've said it before, but since you asked, I can't resist...

I've had my 17 ft Anderson, the "Andale" since 1990...
Since then, I have bagged literally several tons of fish, thousands of lobster, and countless perfect surf days...

People scoff at its size, it is a glorified jetski, yet I have been as far as 75 miles offshore in the thing. It is stout, fast, reliable, and seaworthy. In it I have fished from the Mushroom to the Santa Lucia Bank. I have circumnavigated all of the offshore islands...Although some scoff at it's size, there is NEVER a day when someone doesn't come up and marvel at it's beauty.

I was on the verge of ordering the bigger newer model this year, I came to my senses, and realized that I loved the Andale too much to part with her...I had it as good as sold, to my prior boat partner...he would have been the only person to own the same boat twice (he of course also realizes what a gem she is).

When I die, I'm going to have a viking funeral on the thing...put my body on it, point it west, and have a flaming arrow shot into it...so when you see that westward trail of smoke, you know that both my, and the Andale's time has come....

I'm self-sufficient on my boat, and I could stay out there for days!
I go where I want, when I want, with whoom I want, and I come back when I want.

1. It's paid for (not that a boat is ever truly paid for)

2. There is storage for my beer

7. Its the dryest center console boat ive seen .
8. Bad fishin for sharks and marlin though !!

The pilot house, autopilot, & single diesel inboard power.

I am warm, I do not have to steer, and it is reliable.

1st - It's safe, seaworthy and I trust it.
2nd - I can fly if I want to.....35+ kts.
3rd - Great fishing and hooping platform.
4th - Easy to trailer, launch and retrieve.

You're only 80% correct.

And 5th . . . you can eat off the deck of the bilge.
I bet if you keep the boat another 5 years you just might scratch it.

Chris -

Yes, I have rentals on there now as well.

The waterfront homes have gone WAY up just like everything else. Despite what you read in the newspaper about a slow market, there really aren't too many good deals out there. The lowest Huntington Harbour SFR waterfront which recently went into escrow was listed for $2.3 million.

Seems HH finally caught up with NB and Alamitos! For years I've said that HH was a bargain and a great place to find a waterfront home! Only drawback is that damn bridge and Military! Otherwise a great harbor with lot's to see and explore. Not much in bar's and restaurants for boaters to pull their boats up, but still a great harbor. At $2.3 as the floor, I think they finally caught up! Great thing about your business Scott, is that waterfront property will almost never loose value, and will always have a captive audience!

The waterfront homes are being pushed up for two demographic reasons:

1) The baby boomers who own the homes are not ready to sell yet.

2) There are a bunch of baby boomers out there who have made some BIG $$$ and they are ready to spend it on a waterfront home now that their kids have moved out.

Of course, low interest rates, solid job growth, and the weather in Southern California each help the values.

I love my business just because I get to see so many nice waterfront homes.

Life is good.
