John, you are in college buddy, there is no need for marriage! Take care of your needs, you are young. Maybe I am just a miserable 19 yr old but I think there are too many young marriages lately, ofcourse I dont know how old you are or how much schooling you have left but its COLLEGE... I guess I'm immature because I think college should be a period of experimentation and settling down with a single girl during college just doesn't seem right to me. Get your priorities straight and buy the boat and then deal with the women in your life. Another thing, you gotta be happy, is she going to enjoy the water as much as you? You could very well get married and depending how it goes the boat will never pan out as you would like.. ofcourse this is all blind statements as I don't know the situation but I think it best to take care of yourself and get the boat before you get married. Wait until you are a few years out of school before you settle down. If she can't deal with a boat then she isn't meant for you and if marriage is a pressing issue in college then I don't know...
Like I said I don't know the situation fully but I think it nonsense to marry during college, but then again maybe I am just a selfish immature teenager (possible haha)...
One more note... if she leaves you, think of all the girls you can score witht he boat
haha
THINK about it...
