[cool][blue][size 1]Good thinking. Water toys are like computers. If you look around, you can always find someone who is upgrading and who has a good deal on lightly used gear. [/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Get something as close as possible to what you think you want or need. Then, keep an open mind and be in touch with what is going on each trip. You will likely find that some features are essential, while others are really not that important.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Then, if you are like most of us, one day you will see the ULTIMATE toy and you will not be the same until you own it. So what if it means sleeping in the garage and missing meals...or eating with the dog? A guy's gotta have what a guy's gotta have.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Good luck in your search. One of the obvious suggestions...if you have not already done so...is to post on the local boards and in the buy and sell board.[/size][/#0000ff]
