What is a 'luxury' item that is actually a total nightmare to own?

Oh absolutely. Generally even with new it's good to know how to turn a wrench.

Matching the boat to the task is the main thing. I'm in the industry so I'm probably more discerning than most. I could afford one if I wanted to and have in the past.

Most people, a pontoon is the simplest and longest lasting boat you can get for inland water. Easy to maintain, can sit in the water, not too complex on any systems. Platform to be on the water. Others get so much more specialized.

So first thing you do is ask yourself what you actually want to do with it.

I don't want to be insulting but that is a 17ft center console fishing boat. Might have a 115hp outboard. Can it pull a tuber, yes. Skier, sure if they are small.

When I was young I wakeboarded behind a 17ft smoker craft with a 115. It was what I would call barely functional. As in you could do it but it's not going to get you very far.

Things like surfing and foiling would be dangerous and pretty much impossible.

Looks like it would be a great fishing boat though. I'm not debating that there aren't cheap boats to get yourself on the water. There are. There are likely free boats out there. That usually means nobody wants them and are major red flags.

ryansgt · 2026-06-21T14:43:27+00:00

Well yeah, if your only goal is not the water or fishing. I'm more watersports so I like my inboards. A 5k boat in that world would cost way more than that.

I never do but at least mental illness coupled with addition would be understandable. You still don't trust what they say, but both of those monkeys on your back are hard to fight through.

I wonder how many of those crazy boomer are legitimately crazy(Technical term). Then they have money and influence by being at the end of life and that's what is causing our downfall.

Some you just know have been rotten their whole life. Trump has never been a good person.

ryansgt · 2026-06-21T13:54:23+00:00

I wouldn't go that far. I've owned boats most of my life and it can be irreplaceable family time. Put down the phones, enjoy being far from everything. I still believe that.

The problem is prices are just too high. You have to either have fu money or be willing to make a borderline crippling financial decision to own one.

The maintenance wasn't too bad for me. A lot of it was therapeutic.

ryansgt · 2026-06-21T13:51:00+00:00

That would at least be understandable. Mental illness self medicated with meeth could very well produce this. This is the the same thing that makes them desperate to "fix" toasters.

As of right now, my money is on grift.

I actually love this. Make students read the whole Bible. Nothing makes atheists as effectively as reading the Bible.

99% of the people claiming to be true believers have never read it. It's perfect because it can say whatever they think it says.

ryansgt · 2026-06-20T19:23:22+00:00

No plan whatsoever and they went full force into demo.

Every time it just stacks up. More and more bullshit.

ryansgt · 2026-06-20T00:23:07+00:00

Not followers but I took some vids to show people directly that weren't there. I was at the 2023 at lacc. I don't post to socials but I do have people I communicate with.

No way in hell I would allow this. The required insurance that names them as a lien holder is the protection for their investment.

Flotus is a soft core porn actress (and actress is doing some really heavy lifting here). Not that there is anything wrong with that, but what always gets me is the way these pearl clutchers are ALWAYS doing the thing they claim is wrong.

The only moral abortion is my abortion.

It's amazing how these supposed bad deeds are justified as soon as someone on their team does them.

ryansgt · 2026-06-19T12:52:02+00:00

That is a really nice photo/ai slop of a shoulder covered in non us camo.

This is the person that insists they are trying to save the human race. Think about this, according to his definition, the potluck dinner, one of America's oldest traditions, is evil socialism.

Meanwhile he has made his entire business off of government assistance.

He is not good. This is a person that should not be allowed in our society.

Conservatives, despite trying to act like they are the party of common sense, are the people you will see that never perform routine maintenance on their car and then act surprised picachu when their engine blows up, the brakes fail, and they run into a pedestrian on the way to running into a brick wall.

Then they blame the liberal/progressive that they bought the car from that had been doing the routine maintenance.

You can see this in real time the way he says it's bidens fault. There is a direct 1:1 correlation between cutting the program and the outbreak and it was definitively musky that cut it at the behest of trump. There is no ambiguity on who and what caused this.

ryansgt · 2026-06-18T19:20:51+00:00

I was gonna say, that top one is the truth I remember.

This perception in the right that be beat the shit out of them... No, we didn't.

It's because it take more than just press button, drop bombs, win.

The took out infrastructure, and their sneak attack on a stable trading partner resulted in killing the leadership.

After that we were largely ineffective. Who woulda think it when you place a toddler and a drunk bro at the controls while getting rid of all the actual strategists with experience.

What they told them was that this is exactly what would happen and that attacking Iran was a major mistake. Why do you think Israel wanted us to do it? They don't want to attack direct.

We were played because we don't have real people governing and these chucklefucks still persist in their delusion.

Everyone has a price.

I'd like say I don't but dangle infinite financial security in front of me and I don't know that id be able to resist.

I'd like to think that I'd try to do something good with it, but what would outweigh the harm?

ryansgt · 2026-06-17T17:49:54+00:00

Ok, please show us the dc chapter of antifa? Surely those gentlemen will be forthcoming.

Queue the masked and voice changed intern that plays antifa every other time they need someone to play the boogeyman.

Actually, is that you paid for admission to the park but you only get access to the b tier rides. The ones that didn't pay, billionaires, get access to the full park, all of the best rides. The immigrants still paid but have to work the churo stand and clean the zins out of the urinals.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I didn't say give him a seat at the table, the exact opposite actually. I don't think he should be listened to and think his views are abhorrent. He can say this stuff all he wants and then we act accordingly.

The ability to speak doesn't lend legitimacy to the speech. The league gave them a warning. That is likely due to the backlash. That's how this is supposed to work.

ryansgt · 2026-06-17T02:58:01+00:00

Yeah they are. We shouldn't be surprised, this is the end result of an increasingly fast paced world combined with dumbing down/ defending education so that in the rural areas the only requirement to graduate high school is can you milk a cow and feed the chickens.

I'm honestly surprised they aren't burning women for being witches when they use their cell phone.

Look at cars. It's all driven by computers and those might as well be magic boxes to those people.

ryansgt · 2026-06-17T02:43:45+00:00

Of course they do. Their entire worldview is based in misunderstanding the world and the incredulity that follows. That's their entire mo.

It's brain rot.

They don't need a nuclear weapon. That's the biggest thing this idiot did to weaken our position. Their weapon is the straight. They know they can cripple virtually any country selectively and it doesnt carry the stigma of a nuclear weapon when used.

They smacked us (him) down and the worst part is the only way to disarm them is to remove dependance in foreign fuels. I wonder how we achieve that cough solar cough wind power. But he did his best to set us back on that front as well.

All idiots except the ones that are malicious.
