Hello-
I'm looking into buying a boat- it's a 2 man racing boat that's older (30 years or so) that's always been dry sailed. it's ugly, but i've been told by the guys in the yard it's a pretty solid boat.

It's $1200 w/trailer (needs work to be road legal). I can probably afford it in payments over time, and i get a free slip for 6 months or so- but then i have to pay for a slip.

my question is, is it wise to buy a boat in college? does anyone have experience owning a boat while in school? i always seem to be lacking money while in school(although, a recent job offer- that i'm taking- will virtually double my income). i dunno what to think- on the one hand- it's a pretty good deal in the short-medium term, but long term is a huge question mark with dry slip fees, maintenance costs, etc. etc.

any advice???
