I've had boats all my life. Never had any major problems with them. As long as you take care of them they can be as reliable or more reliable than your car. I would buy an inboard/outboard (stern drive) if you are looking at that type of boat. I had a boat like this one (1993) for 22 years and never had a single issue besides regular maintenance. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/boa/5676755970.html
Sea Ray and Chaparral had good hull designs in the 90s

Yeah, I'll keep renting.
They are a expensive hobby
Sad thing is most people buy boats and very rarley use them and then they go to hell

Renting is a good option unless your using it like every weekend

Yeah that's what I've been hearing. I rent regularly, but it's pricey here at Allatoona.

I buy boats that have been seized by marinas for non paint of dock rents. Add up how many times a year you rent and see if it's worth owning. We are on a boat every weekend year round usually.

Find a friend who owns a boat. I have owned many, but never used them enough to justify the costs. Much easier to drive to a lake and rent there with no hauling it to and fro.

Exactly.
I've wasted $ in the past with boats, makes no sense to buy if you're not using it every weekend.
