Default What would you do? Boat question

Ok so my grandpa has a 34' Californian boat. It is about a 1960's boat twin 350 stern drives. It has spent the majority of its life at Yellowstone lake. Its is in great shape has been very well taken care of. It sleeps 4 comfortably would sleep 4 more on the main deck area. Has full camper top. Down side is my poor truck is a 3/4 ton so not sure how well it would pull.

So my question is that if you were to get the boat as a inheritance would take it?

Ill try to find a picture but it is not a boat that you would ski on by any means. I would like feedback the biggest thing stopping me is that i m 25 and would be happier in a 20' ski boat. But free is hard to pass up on.

So take it or leave it? sorry for long post.

If you don't have a whole lot of sentimental value in it, you could always take it and sell it and buy the one you want...

That's what I would do if it were me.

I hate boats. I'd have nothing to do with it, because I know that if I did take it I'd end up spending $10,000 on it before I could even flip it.

Your F-250 should be able to pull it. Think of the adventures you & some lady friends can have on that boat. TAKE IT & BE HAPPY
