Timbo,
John Fondrk is selling his Seawind 300C. Would be perfect for your backyard and water. He is also selling his Cessna 150 that is in good condition. They are both at Clearwater Airprot. You may not understand this but he got married and his wife and daughter are in to horses which distracts enough from his N-20 sailing.

We have lots of open fields down here in central FL, perfect for little airplanes, and if I do get one, I'll put it on floats and keep it in my backyard. I can also mow the lawn with it!

Wow, that poor bast...! I feel his pain! I hope he can keep his Boat!
The only thing I have found that's twice as expensive as boats AND airplanes, combined, are Horses! Race cars might be close, only because you have to buy new tires all the time, and rebuild the motor, but feeding a bunch of horses twice a day, plus their shoes, shots, vet bills when they get a boo-boo, etc. they truly are the gift that keeps on taking. And that's if you NEVER go to a show. Add a thousand dollars a pop, if you go to shows! Oh, and you'll need a truck and big trailer to go to a show, so add that in!
When my wife starts complaining about the horses, and the amount of work, I just point to my boat in the back yard and say,
See that boat? I didn't have to feed it today, or shovel it's poop, or put another blanket on it because it's going to be cold tonight, and guess what? It don't care, if I don't care, it never cops an attitude or tries to kick me when I'm 'feeding' it.
Airplanes are the same, ie. they don't care, but the hanger fees are high ($300/mo. or more), and then you have to put gass in them, which is getting outrageous, over $5.00 a gallon, plus the insurance, and the annual maintenance, etc. is expensive, unless you do it yourself (you'll need a license to do it) but it's no where near what it costs to own/show horses!
Tell John he can put his airplane in my backyard, I promise to feed it and shovel it's poop, every day!
But until all of our 6 horses drop dead, I won't be able to buy his airplane.

Yes, Acro is great fun! As a kid I always wanted to build a Pitts, and I still may get to it, some day. I was renting a Pitts S2B in Miami, when I was single! The IAC holds contests here in Sebring twice a year, I usually go out to watch, see what new stuff the Unlimited guys have come up with. Some of the stuff they do is pretty wild. Check out their web site, http://www.iac.org/ You can compete at the Basic level in the Citabria. Loop, roll, spin, that's about all there is to it in the Basic category. Have fun!
Six horses? Are f*cking retarded Timbo? That's burning PILES of money.
horses suck. the ultimate depreciating asset
and quit talking about planes
Yes, Yes, and Yes.
That's why I'm still racing with a 5 year old boat and mainsail...oh, and still kicking your butt.

A lot of the time it is better to look competent than to be competent. Of course one should be both... But if ya had to choose...
Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Man-o-pause. Geeze get spellcheck for pete's sake. It's my only card I have left to get a boat (vs. a sportscar and fake-boob twenty-something)
resistance is futile.
Hey! I got nuttin' to do with that.
