After Charlie's neighbor Myles gave him a new Chevy Silverado pickup truck, Charlie decides he needs a new boat to tow behind it. Charlie finds the perfect "new" fishing boat on Craigslist and quickly learns the difficulties of owning a boat.

This man bought a boat just to make a Johnson joke and i applaud him for it

“Got more standing water in my basement” that one both hurt and made me laugh at the same time

Omg I saw you guys filming this! I was out with my boat, this is big muskego and the wind lake access launches. I wish I would've looked closer and saw who it was. Tell your folks I says Hi. 😃

The most unrealistic part of this was when someone called Charlie out for having a beer on the boat. You're in WI. Beer is our water

Used to work at a marina in SoFla, always loved watching the guys who can’t back a trailer. Once saw a guy back up down ramp, slammed brakes to dislodge the boat as he was alone. Boat came off all right, floated away and he had to jump in and swim to boat!

The two best days of being a boat owner:
- the first day
- the last day

Living in Vegas I do miss boating. Thanks Charlie.

“It’s couple inches, I got more water in my basement”

Launched my brand new boat up in Waukegan, immediately the auto bilge starts. All the experienced fisherman are staring at me and ask if my drain plug was in. I wanted to drive away and never come back.

"it looks like rain"
"no it doesn't"
"yes it does" with the bright sun and clear sky reflecting off his sunglasses

I could relate to far too much of that. At least you didn't toss in the anchor before it was tied to the boat.

I genuinely enjoy this guys channel and I’m not even from the Midwest. Dude makes me laugh and feel like I know these people lol.

You have serious talent in how you put these videos together. Easy to miss all the rapid-fire jokes. Great stuff!

This is soo my 18 yr old son. Eh, looks like rain. 10am. Call it a day.

Hey Charlie. I work on those boats and motors all the time. It looks like she may need a little work 😂. You probably new that. But I would replace the wood on the transom, replace the water pump impeller in the motor, the spark plugs in the motor, and the gear oil for sure. Those pressure tanks are not dangerous at all. It’s been a myth for awhile. I won quite a few of the pressure tank motors and never had any issues. I’m sure you can catch ya a few Walleyes on the SS Ope! Best of luck, Seth.

Reminds me of my first boat I picked up last year. Shes a 1979 14 foot sea nymph with a 1987 mercury 25 hp outboard. Ended up naming her the Lil Guppy.

[freedomforever]

That's a classic little boat. Great score.

Thank you Charlie , memories of Devils lake and fox lake as a 10 year old in a 14' with a '46 5 hp Evinrude flying around the lake . I felt like a king those days . I love Wisconsin!

My husband and I work on marine engines and the first time boat owners always crack us up!!! You certainly hit it on the nail!

I got a call from my parents yesterday because they drove the boat down the river to a pub, only for dad to decide he could do some outdrive maintenance whilst bored, resulting in the engine packing up. So I drove down there in my little boat...of course I did remember to get fuel....after 3 hours at the pub another friend comes by, and tows both boats back up stream. Over 7/10 good day out
