I just bought a 25ft deep V with a 250hp yamaha outboard. The only time I have to ride in on Sunday & it depends on the weather then sometimes I don't want to ride but rather chill with family &/or friends. With the boat I could relax by myself or a few people if I want to. I could see the big girl getting abit lonely for long periods....& I'll have some money in my pocket..no wipeouts....hhhhmmmm
