A wise old gentleman once told me that everybody is a salesman, but most people don't realize it. Good job and congrats...

Congratulations

I still say my way is the best cause it answers the "strength of the marraige" question.

Just buy it and bring it home.

[Re:Play]

Congratulations to you and your wife on you decision to get a new boat. After Loraine spent one cool morning in our first Arima with a top, sides, back and heater, she could not believe I ever "made" her fish in our previous open boats. Yes it is half her boat, but she lets me use it when ever I want, and does not go all that often, but sure enjoys the comforts of heat and a porta potty when she does. :cheers:

Beautiful!!! I've always said that the key to manipulation is to convince the person that it was their idea in the first place. Some men are too proud and have to have it "their way." Everything has to be "their idea." I tell them that if you can live with it being "the little woman's idea." They will get what they want in the long run. Some guys never learn. Some are great manipulators. :grin:

Mark :cheers:

p.s. I love my significant other even more when she comes up with great ideas!! :grin:
