Get the boat and when the kids ask 'can we borrow it', answer "of course you can, so long as we can come with you". You will have some great family days, or they will stop asking. Ha Ha.
Think.......boat....think...storage....licence......fuel.......rego.....and all the safety things....and what you going to tow behind it
have storage,,,have licence,, fuel yeh ok rego yeh ok,, looking at a package with all the "saftey things" and already have a 4wd as a tow vehicle,,, and as for towing bhind the boat,, anything that floats i guess......would need fuel and rego on a bike as well so that isn't really a concideration

Gosh that is a difficult choice, we have owned a big Harley Road bike and a sail boat, they both offer different fun. Our daughter gets sea sick and didn't like the boat too much, although we did do some fun times on it together as a family...The Harley was loads of fun and she liked hoping on it with her Dad, to be dropped off somewhere.
I think you should buy what you have to have...and enjoy it. It is a fun time to be able to buy fun toys....good luck...
What a pickle to be in! Your money, your time, your family.
it's to fill in time until we work out if we want to be full time nomads or just part timers,,, have decided to go with the boat,, looking for a ski boat to "bomb" around on the river with which is only 45 mins from home,,, the kids all think it's a great idea,, just have to find one we like that's in our price range
