You know when we were looking, It was tough finding one with a camper package. Just got lucky with this one. It does seem to have everything. To get something comparible these days it seems you have to spend close to $50k. Although Bamaman you said the Johnson 140 was only made in 2006. The one I have is a 140 2003 Johnson. Which I believe back then were basically a rebadged Suzuki..It does run great!

Ahoy ya'll.

So I was sitting at home the other day when I realized that I had way too much money in my Emergency Fund and I thought to myself... should I go to the nudie bar :nana or buy a boat as they both idea share the same idea one you throw money on stage the other in the hole in the water. As you may have guessed I choose the boat or I would be on the nudie bar website. I figure with the boat I can spend quality time with my family, however with the nudie bar that may not be the case.


I have purchased a 1995 Sun Tracker 21 party barge, with a force 40 motor. Won't tell you what I paid because the more I read the more I realize that yes I paid a little too much.

I have not taken her out yet (the boat not the girl from the nudie bar) that will happen Saturday..almost did Monday but the wind was strong and gusty here in Central FL so I didn't.

I'll post some pictures soon thanks in advance for all the questions I'll have later... :donno
