I was wondering with all of the tools and machinery we "need" (that is what I tell my wife--"honey I need this") to do the things we want to do in the shop, how many also find time to get out on the water?

I have been trying to justify buying a boat but have found it somewhat difficult. I consider myself only a mild hobbyist when it comes to woodworking; however, since I purchased the lathe I cannot seem to find the spare time I used to have.

So this got me to thinkin'. With the devotion each of you have to your shops, do you own a boat? Do you care to own a boat?

I have a 4 year old son I'd love to take out and have him feel the rush of catching a great big ole' bass! I think he'd love it.
