This is a hard one. If you don't make her happy the only racing you will be doing is in the garage kneeling in a boat that is going no where. She will be around a lot longer than a boat. Get a cheaper ring and maybe you can still get a boat to.

Good LuckComment

If I were you, I would get the boat but only since it is for her
Now if you were choosing between a boat for yourself or a ring for her. it would be: GET THE RING DUDE shes a keeper! lol
PS my sis in law is a jeweler maybe she can get you a good deal on the ring later
Besides she said she wants the boat. annd a woman always tells you what she REALLY wants right?..................

For the Monaco F1 race for the last several years McLaren has placed diamonds in either the steering wheel and/or on the nose of the car. Order a boat and I will be more than happy to WEST the ring to the dash, that way she can look at it while racing and think about how great a guy you are. Might mess up her starts though.

LOL It has taken 20 years to train her. My wife no longer assumes I will know what she REALLY wants, if she does not TELL me what she really wants. Well at least for the most part.Originally posted by blueskyracer View PostKev, what are you smoking!! I did not know that the boat was for her. That changes everything.

A tad bit confused here but here is my point of view. I am NOT a jewlery person (ask BlueSkyRacer).
If it was a boat for me or a ring for me I would say boat. (Although it would have to be some kind of techie equipment since I am technical support or a new horse).
If it is a matter of an engagement ring for her or a boat for him, we'd better know a lot more about her first. Is she a racer? Does she attend races if not a racer?
I would always go for the practical and that would be boat even if it was for BlueSkyRacer. He deserves it and boat racing (although I don't "race") is something that we do together and that means a whole lot more than jewelry. My next statement would be get the best of everything you can afford because if boat racing is worth doing it is worth doing well!
Welcome to hydroracer, we hope you enjoy your visit.Comment

A good relationship is priceless you would not trade it for any amount of money
A bad relationship? you can not get the first peso for it
A good boat nearly priceless
a bad boat... well... at least you can get the price of the hardware out of it

What great choices.
44 years ago I was asked to choose:
between a ring or a... PROP!
(Times were hard).
Man, if I would have been able to get a boat, wow.
Of course I did choose the prop, and it was for my boat of course.
On our 25th anniversary I did get the ring. I don't even wear it. I loved my PROP and the guy who bought it for me, and never gave a ring a second thought.
Get her what she wants, just let her pick it out.

The choice is buy a boat for Katie or buy a ring for Katie. Not a boat for me or a ring for her. I have enough boats for me.Comment

Easy Choice
47 years ago Andy traded his Sidcraft (the only non-Hansen Hull he ever raced) for my engagement ring.
I'm glad he did.
