Re: Any boat owners on board?
I have made a personal rule to never actually own a boat, but always know someone who does. I pay for the gas, help launch and crew, then clean-up afterwards. Then I go home and forget about it until the next trip. Good for him, good for me. He has an 18' Everglades "flats" boat and we usually fish Mosquito Lagoon. It’s meandering tidal flows, oyster bars, mangroves and grass-flats, create conditions for some of the best inland fishing in east central Florida and the best redfishing in the world! Redfish and Spotted Sea-trout are the primary target when site-fishing the area but we also get Snook, Tarpon, Grouper, Tripletail, Black Drum and Ladyfish.
Here's a picture of me with a Tripletail I caught about a mile offshore from Cape Canaveral at one of the channel bouys(measuring 27" and weighing at least 30lbs).
... and I caught his buddy 5-minutes later - he was 26" and almost as heavy !! Here's my haul and the boat.
Here is a picture of my buddy Terry and me with a nice Redfish he caught in the lagoon.
(I'm only in the picture for posterity).

Re: Any boat owners on board?
Do my cars count?
Well, this is the boat I end up skippering whenever I'm back in Missouri. It's my uncle's 38 foot Doral Express Cruiser. It's powered by twin 502 Mercruiser's and can haul three skiers with no problem. It's one of the easiest boat I ever driven, especially in all those tiny coves on Lake of the Ozarks.
I don't have a pic of the boat itself, but it looks just like this one.
That's me driving it with my Uncle Terry riding shotgun. This was three months before cancer got him. I miss ya, buddy.
My Aunt and Uncle's place on Lake of the Ozarks. One of the few places on earth where I can truly relax.
