    Question Regarding loans

    ok, i will be the voice of reason here....step away from the boating showroom. You mentioned that your only payments are a truck and rent. If you do not own a home or other assets, I would discourage you from aquiring six figures $$$$ of a DEPRECIATING ASSET. Do youself a favor and use...

    Back after and absence via Costa Rica and the Keys - New Boat Pricing?
