New boat/ Wife

Well I order my new boat, my wonderful wife of almost 35 years never even asked when she came home about it..
Well I finally brought it up 3 days later and said " I ordered the boat this week". After a long pause she asked how much was it. Lol 😂 I said I stayed within my budget, and of course she said " sure you did".
So here we are sitting on a icy day talking about vacation and she says " she gets her way for the next year because I bought that boat" !!
SO if you guys see me out on Truman or Smithville in a shiny new Ranger 1880 with a 175 opti pro xs stop and say hi and let me show it off cause I'll have lots of time over the next year !!!! Lol
I must also add after 35 years she has been the best woman and wife a man could ever want. I love her to dearly and I still fish probably 35 weekends a year.

You knew that was coming. If its only for a year then you got a good deal on a new boat. Sounds like you picked a good one.

Congrats on the new boat. That is a great rig for sure. I seen Pete posted a ton of pics of it on bassboatcentral after the dealer conference last month. What color combo did you go with? Can't wait to see some pics when you get it and then later on the water.

At least she didn't have a heart attack in the show room floor like mine did. That's not a joke. Still got the boat.

It took a year to talk her into it. !!! I can't repeat what she said this is a family environment!!!

sweet, when I first started reading, thought maybe you got the new boat in the divorce, glad she stayed.

I used the old " we need more room for the grand babies "

I thought that meant new boat and new wife. :dono Congrats on the great wife. The boat is not as important. I really enjoy when a man compliments his wife and I really get offended when someone calls his wife old lady.:mad: Mine is older than me, but she is the best thing to ever happen in my life, and I got a pretty nice boat too. lol:ThumbsUp

Congrats on the wife! And on the new rig! Gotta pick up some Crappie.com Stickers for it now
