Re: Is it too early to upgrade?

My advice is to keep the C30 for another season or two minimum. Be smart about upgrades. You dont have to make the C30 have everything you eventually want on a boat unless you decide to keep it for a...

Re: my crazy dream

Step 1.
Start by living on caught fish and stealing fruit off trees in your area if choice. If you are still alive after 6 months go on to step 2.

Step 2. Doesnt matter. It wont work.
