My wife came home from Mexico last Friday. :D While she was gone I switch out my 16'er for my new to me 19'er into the drive way across the street where I had parked the gizmo 16. She didn't think I should get a bigger boat. :thdown For a week she has been looking at the 19'er and hasn't said any thing. :roll: She doesn't realize that gizmo a 16'er is gone and Tee Ten the 19'er is in it's place. :) :amgry Gizmo had green color and Tee Ten has black trim. My wife really isn't into C-Dorys. :( Now that for a week she has been looking at the 19. I think I'm getting deeper and deeper into trouble. When she realizes what I went and did, I think it is going to be harder and harder to explaine. :!: How long should I let this ride before I admit to her WE have a larger C-Dory :?: It's going to be hard enough to work through this as it is :? . Any advise from you still married men :?: HELP :!:
 
Sorry, I don't have that problem.

I wanted a 22 Cruiser and my wife wants a 25. :mrgreen:

I don't know your wife or the current status of you marriage but I'd just tell her, get it over with and take your medicine. What's she gonna do? You already have the boat and if it doesn't interfere with your life, bills, commitments & family responsibilities etc who cares.
 
If that post is for real..Let's see, Your wife went to Mexico without you...and while she was gone, you bought a bigger boat without talking to her about it. Now you're afraid to tell her. Sorry buddy you've got more problems than just a boat. :sad Jack
 
Steve, doesn't your daughter, Paige?, know about the 19? If so, and not to be glib, have her break to your wife. :thup Girl to girl or woman to woman might do better...!
 
I thought I had this all figured out. Just tell her you had to do the bottom paint thing and that you always have to redo the trim at the same time too... If she ever notices. Then I thought about the Mexico trip...Might be better off to just tell her the truth straight up and see what the hell happens. If it pisses her off too much, buy a bigger boat and go fishing

I asked my wife, hypothetically of course, who is a professional counselor and she offered the following. Go for broke. If you got this far. Go for a 25 footer and see what happens. Maybe she's color blind and you never knew it. Caution, may cost you a house in the long run.
 
Diamonds (have to be real--none of this fake stuff)--and lots of diamonds--this will distract her and she will not notice the difference. You might also want to upgrade her car. I agree, it would have been much cheaper to have bought the 25 and then given the big sell "I did it for you, Honey!
 
Good news and bad news!

The bad news is that you're going to be in the "doghouse" for a while after you tell her the truth.

The good news is that at least your doghouse will be 19 feet long now instead of 16!

Maybe you'd like to step up to the 25 while you're at it and make it your permanent home?

Joe. :lol:
 
Steve,
I think you were wise. You don't need any advice. You are going to have one big fight over the purchase instead of a whole bunch of little ones. Those little fights are the easy ones to lose. The one big one you have won already.
You asking for advice now is like saying you need to drain the swamp after you are up to your ass in alligators.

Have some of these :beer :beer :beer :beer :beer .Pull up yours pants and show her who is boss. Now Tell her you are going to add some electronics and a few other goodies.

Make sure you have a place lined up ( to sleep) for the next few weeks.

Obviously you are a winner and a champion. A good example to us all.

Gee , I feel like Ann Landers.

Here's the 0ne-two punch.

Like it has been suggested, name her Gizmo. Then, if she ever discovers it's bigger, just say that you had to outdo oldgrowth and make her 3 feet longer. You did not buy a new boat, and just stick to your story!!
 
I always cover my new toys with dust and say I found it under a buch of stuff in the garauge. I doubt that you'll be able to pull that one off in this scenerio. Therefore, I'll paraphrase an old Who song that may be helpfull when she finds out (and she will).

My life's in Jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I bought a boat last Friday night
And now my wife is coming after me

Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so
I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A black belt judo expert with a machine gun

Gonna buy a tank and an airoplane
When she cathes up with me
Won't be no time to explain

Gonna hitch my boat to a fast car
Put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive


Good luck!!
 
Tell her the last time you launched Gismo you noticed a poker game going on at the dock. Having no cash on you, you threw down your 16's pink slip to get into the game. Lo and behold another guy on the other side of the dock threw in his 19's pink slip seeing that you got in the game that way. You won the pot. Then you said, hey, I can't just take a fellow boater's boat away from him, so you said, take my 16, I'll take your 19 and call it even!
 
Steve,
Honesty is the best course of action here----


Just tell her it followed you home, and since it was so cute, you decided keep it. :lol:

See ya in May on the Delta
