My first stab at a poll... seeing how this works!

 

[Convincor]

On my 3rd boat. Not counting PWC's, inflatable's and current jet boat. First was an 18'. I knew I wouldn't have it that long. About 3 years. Second was 25'. Owned it almost 7 years. Our current Sea Ray I plan on having about 5 years. Maybe more. I would like to get into a newer Sea Ray in a few years. We'll see how the job and economy go.

 

[fish n chick]

Well I still don't technically own her yet, but she's been in my possesion for my 5th season this week! I want to upsize as well, but not at the expense of this one. Time will tell what happens.

This is my 1st boat......

But I want to move up to a 22ft sea ray Express Cruiser

Real soon..............................

 

[Stodge]

Well we had our jet skis about 4 months.

The 18 footer we had for the tail end of the 2006 season, all of the 2007 season, and the first 3 months of the 2008 season. So I guess that's 2 years.

Our current vessel we got 3 months into the 2008 season, so it's been just over a year. Plan to have her for a while.

 

[TheParamour]

The Paramour is a 1979 30' Sea Ray. My dad got it around 1983 and my brother still charters it today.

I had that boat for 15 years and did just fine
