[quote author=Tom]... someone always has bigger boat[/quote]
A friend took a couple of shots of us passing a cruise ship as we entered Cruiseport Marina in Ensenada. It made our 51' LOA look like a small duck waddling by. From an earlier topic:

Tom that's but a dingy for that ship! No really you have a very nice boat there and not that small at all!

Tom, Nice boat,
Like everyone I have the urge for "2 foot more". A couple of feet more for the Sea Ray Cruiser, a couple of foot more for the RV or maybe a extra slide, maybe a few more horsepower on the airplane.... Good thing I have the wife to knock some sense in to my head. To quote my bride of 37 years, "I should have killed you in your sleep years ago" to which I reply, and you would have missed out on such a wild ride! ;D

Someone mentioned that you wouldn't be able to waterski behind this boat. I guessing you could surf its wake.

In the photo world we only wish for 100mm longer in lens. I did the boat thing, did the RV thing, I still want a 500mm prime.

I have a 200-500 and I am no longer wishing for 100 mm more. It would be too big and too hard to hold for me.

Of course.
Which 200-500? Sigma or Tamron?
Guessing Tamron. but if the Sigma, I totally understand, that lens weighs 37 pounds!

The Canon 500mm is "only" a little over $10K. Why not just go for the 800mm at bit over $13K instead (and a crane to hold it maybe, at 9.9 lbs.).
