33 years ago I sold my prize possession, a 1975 Norton 850 Commando, to buy an engagement ring, since then I've had several bikes, boats and shotguns come and go, but still have the same wife!
Been married 38 years. My wife bought me a Citorie for my 50th birthday and 12 years and 10,000+ rounds later both are still going strong. Remember that every boat has to be better than the last one.
Wise choice Chris, My wife has put up with my 4 to 6 labs,and a pile of boats for 23 years. She can't wait for duck season to get me out of "Her house" and down to my duck camp
