Hard choices...

Get the gun, f@%k boats, and the lathe seems like work...but if it makes you money, then you can use it to finance the gun later, and f@$k the boat still.

If it were me;
#1 - Mateba
#2 - Lathe
#3 - Boat, a very distant 3rd. 

It is said that the two happiest days of a boat owners life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it.

I understand that the Mateba works best with really hot loads and probably wont get shot that much, but still, just how cool is an automatic revolver?  What caliber is it?

I suspect the Mrs. would frown on the kind of behavior now.  Women can be funny that way.

My answer, if it's not to late, is get the lathe if you have work for it. If not get the Mateba.

If you want an adult perspective, tell the kids to shut up and give a listen. 

The boat starts losing money the minute you close on it.  Yeah, it's fun to watch nekkid women bouncing around the foredeck (I am a licensed captain with more years on boats than you have on earth, so I know of which I speak) but, you are a married man and you know which one you're gonna end up with.  Do you really want to have to answer the question, "Do you think her tits are better than mine, honey" while your are sweating out four quarts of margaritas after a day in the hot sun?

The lathe is a work related item that you can buy and claim on your taxes, so it really ain't in the equation.

The gun is the ONLY thing on your list that even makes sense.

Sheesh, Tab...  Grow up and think like you know how to do it.

A used hobie from the 80s is really not worth anything to start out...  Its just one of those things I've wanted for a couple decades now. 

AS to that question... my wife already knows, if she does not want the answer don't ask the question.


The lathe is a toy tool for me to be able to build diffrent parts for this and that.  mainly for boats.   


I'm not one to buy stuff new, unless its for work.  all "toys"  get picked up used.
