First, I would like to thank all of you so much for the information. I did a terrible thing, though. My husband and I were talking about the boat and the marinas we visited. He asked me what I wanted to do in terms of making the decision. I said “well, this is more you than me.” I only meant that I trusted him to know more about all of this than me...and I honestly don’t think every decision has to be 50-50 between husband and wife. I had been doing all I could to learn more about boating, etc., knowing that with his vision issue I would be doing most of the drive no, etc. He immediately shut down the conversation at that point, saying he didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars on something if we both wouldn’t enjoy it. I tried again today to reopen the discussion, but he won’t discuss it further. :-(.
