Evidence That I Need a Sugar Daddy...

ME WANT!

May I present the Wilderness Systems Zephyr 155:



The odds of this boat being available at a discount at the end of the year...actually pretty good.

Odds that it will be reduced by 40% and in a price range which I can afford without draining my savings account and resorting to the credit card to buy a paddle ($300 more or less)...absolutely nil.

I just spent an hour-and-a-half after work today falling in love and doing the kayaking equivalent of donuts in the middle of the Charles in this boat.

*cries*

I need to marry rich.

I may have to settle for buying a season pass for another year...

Doesn't it figure that when I settle on a sport I love, it happens to be a horrendously expensive sport.

*cries*

That is with buying a rental model. *cries*

In all seriousness, where I have my season pass they always sell of rentals at the end of the year for 20% to 50% off. I had my heart set on a Necky Manitou 14, since it's borderline within my price range without a discount, would be just within reach at the low end of the discount, and would be WAH-HOOOOOO! at the high end of the discount.

Then I test-drove this one. *cries*

I'd be perfectly happy with a Necky Manitou 14, to be honest. But this was a sweeeeeet boat.

Of course, any and all plans to buy a boat depends heavily on how much money I manage to sock away by end of summer, and barring any unforeseen problems.

So even in my dreams it was a 50-50 shot that I'd buy this year due to some heavy expenses in May and June.
