[quote=tryfuhl;683499]how about using iphone developed apps that haven't been adjusted for the ipad yet? heard they look like crap when you 2x em, which is to be expected I guess

how about not being able to listen to Pandora and check e-mail at the same time? no true multi-tasking would kill any hope that I had for the thing

future versions should be good[/quote]

Yeah the iPhone apps don't look so hot when you blow them up but I find myself simply browsing the internet more vs. using apps. I don't use Pandora much so I don't know, but you can use the iPod feature while doing something else.

[quote=firstdown;683568]I guess I'm just out of the main stream on these things. To me a new toy is a new driver,wake board, fishing pole, power tool, or something like that. I guess I look at computer stuff as work related items even though they are much more. Even though I'm into fishing and boating I find learning how to use the electronics a pain in the ass and not much fun.[/quote]


that is becasue you are old! =)

and for the record I rather spend the day on the bay then playing with an iPad, I just know Matty loves his gadgets.

A boat may be in my near future, I like those toys too

2 happy days when owning a boat, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I just know a bunch of folks who have boats so it is easy for me to get my boat fix with out dropping a ton of money into that money pit.

I'd bet money that there are people here who spend more money on electronics and related items then I'll spend on my boat this year. Right now I have about $250 into the boat and its ready for the summer so I should be good to go. I do plan on buying a new prop for around $300 so this year I should have around $550 into my boat. I do agree its nice to know people who own boats but I don't think I could go without having one. I think I was around 8 when I got my first boat and pretty much have owned one sense then.

So what kind of boat do you want to get and do you have experience using boats?

Re: Apple expected to unveil 'Jesus' tablet today
 

Grew up on the Finger Lakes and have been around boats since I was young. Not looking at any major as I live on a smallish lake. Probably a 20 footer at the most.

I have sailed must of my life and have owned Lasers and O'days. We had a Boston Whaler for a little while. My neighbor was a big tuna sports fisherman and I use to go out with him all the time. Now he owned a BOAT. Use to compete in the RI Tuna Tournament.

Nothing like a lazy afternoon on the water in a boat fishing for a buzz, good times.

Really? I am sure you have if you think about it.

No one tank full in my boat at current prices is around $450. Most trips out we probably don't burn more then 15 to 20 gallons so its not that bad for a day of fun. Now if I'm out with my buds we will probably burn 30 to 45 gallons because we will go furture looking for bigger fish but we usually split the gas cost so it actually less out of my pocket.

If I remeebr correctly 1st down said he doesn't use much gas. My buddy has like a 25 footer and he fills it like 3 times a summer if that. A small fishing boat should not use much assuming you are using the current to troll (sp) with and you are not going 100 miles off shore.
