Help me doctor, I have a case of footitis...
I guess it was inevitable that I would get footitis. For those who haven't heard of it before, it's a condition that some first time boaters get. Basically, it's the need to get a boat several feet larger than the one you got. The seriousness of the infliction depends on how many feet larger one is longing for. In my case I got it bad... I want a Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. Given that my 2009 Sea Ray 175 Sport is only 18 feet with 80 hours on it with a 2009 RayMarine A50D chart-plotter/fish-finder, SR50 Sirius receiver, and a Ray49 DSC VHF radio (asking price $23,000), I think my case is terminal.
Why do I think that? I'm displaying the typical symptoms of going to the marina to look at larger boats. I'm searching the Internet for reviews, pictures, anything to satisfy my desires. I double check my savings account to see if the $250 I put aside a paycheck miraculously has grown my account to $80,000. And lastly, I'm desparately trying to convince the wife that she needs a bigger boat... Though I think footitis is contagious since my wife has expressed interest in an express cruiser and has even commented that our boat is too small.
I need immediate help... Send me money so I can cure myself with this:
In fetal position, shaking uncontrollably...
