Thank you as that is not my normal style. I catch and release, have very few BRAG FISH pics on my camera and don't have the cajones to go WOT in my Cat.
How does one become a BAKO BOY, is it like joining a frat? They doen't use a goat do they?

Dear DF,
Am I mad at the guy driving down the freeway in $250K Ferrari? Of course not. Am I mad when he carelessly and needlessly cuts across my lane at 95 m.p.h., endangering me, my passengers, and other drivers in the process? You bet your *** I do.
Owning a nice boat and enjoying the privilege of taking it out on the water is one thing. Thinking that owning a nice boat entitles you to act carelessly and without regard to other boaters/anglers makes you an a-hole.
Someone I know made an interesting analogy which fits this discussion. If someone yells "b*tch" at a crowd of people, and only three people turn around, should those three people be upset at the person who yelled it? Or at themselves for identifying with it?
i have my own boat, but it can be confused with a rental. i had a bigger fast boat, but chose to down size. I like to stay away from smaller boats, cause I think it is considerate. Hope you all do the same. Anybody know what size the motors are?

The word that stuck in my craw was PRIVILEGED and you’re still stuck on that privileged and class envy thing! You could have used Ferrari without the 250k thing, Na it’s all about class envy and privilege isn’t it. Tell me how in your words “Owning a nice boat and enjoying the privilege of taking it out on the water is one thing” is a privilege. You also left out this part of my post when you used the quote. “Living at or below my means my whole life and saving towards the good life at retirement was always my goal”. It did not fit your agenda did it; it’s always about your agenda isn’t it?
I also like fast sport cars but I can’t afford a Ferrari, I have attached a pic of my other Boy Toy for you to ID when you are out driving. Be sure to wave if you see me and I will return with a hand gesture too. It must be a “Penis Envy” thing I guess, not class envy or privilege thing. Enjoy.

Oh please, save your accusations; you chose to dissect my original statement and turn this into a class-warfare argument (which it is not), so don't go whining about how I failed to include some other portion of your post.
You would like to believe I begrudge you for having a nice boat, which you've indicated that you earned through hard work and sacrifice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Perhaps it is stuck in your craw, because you fail to comprehend the meaning of the word privilege beyond your narrow view. That's your problem, not mine. Although you may not want to accept this, the fact is that there are individuals out there who believe that because they enjoy the privilege of owning an expensive boat, it entitles them to act like complete d-bags out on the water.
You also keep referring to some alleged resentment towards other people's sexual appendages, which says more about you than I care to imagine.
So do we actually have boat rentals? or is this just a thread run wild?

You just can’t keep from using the word “PRIVILEGED” can you, that’s three times now in three posts! You can try to slice it or dice it but you can’t walk it back. You could have used bass boat and everyone would have known what you were talking about, but no, you had to use 50k Ranger. Then you could have used sports car and everyone would have also known what you were talking about, but no, you had to use 250k Ferrari. I expect no Mea culpa from you and I am not asking for one. I know what you are and so does everyone else.
I perhaps should apologize as I thought Lady Quagga was in reference to the Quagga mussel. Perhaps I was mistaken and it is reference to the link below. In either case one is an invasive species and the other is an extinct species, either one will fit in my book.
