? how hard would it be to build a swim platform? I wanted a boat with one and this one doesn't have one. Anyone ever done it or want to help out?

I don't drink on my boat, mainly because of where I go. Lake arlington doesn't allow alcohol at all and the BRA you simply don't fuck with.

Basic stuff like washing/drying after lake runs, COVERING IT, and properly winterizing will save your wallet big time. My dad has 2 different boats that he has owned since new...he takes care of them and they still look great despite their 25+ years of age. The gm 4.3l v6 is a great gas saver for an inboard...and it lasts forever! I've owned 3 boats and 2 jet skis, and never had a problem. The woes come from neglect, 90% of the time.

Yeah, I have no intentions of drinking unless there is designated person to operate the boat - during the day/when we're moving. But I like to camp and figured I could just lay out in a sleeping bag and snooze until morning. Prior to that, a few beers and some food would be nice.

I've been fortunate enough to have only encountered lake patrol 1 time (last summer) for as long as I've owned my boat (8 or 9 years now I think) on texoma. They were very polite and courteous, we had just launched and were coming up to speed headed to do some boarding, I hadn't opened my beer yet so there was no issue. I would agree with all the previous statements of being responsible about it, and avoiding heavy drinking on major holiday weekends. I've watched lake patrol pull over boat after boat on holiday weekends. Also YOU MUST HAVE an appropriate sized life vest for every person on board. They will ticket you on that one for sure.

I know this is a technicality and all that, but what I'd like to know is if it's me and another person. If we anchor for the night and are sleeping on the boat, can I get drunk? Or does there always have to be at least one legal operator sober?

If you get caught being drunk on the water, whether you're the operator or passenger, there are many different scenarios that could play out... and none of of 'em are good.
Most of the Game Wardens and Lake Patrols have portable breathalyzers now... and they're not afraid to use 'em. To me, it's just not worth the risk.
Drink if you must, but act responsibly if you do.
