    Well, "I" just went for it. DH says the backyard belongs to me now as it has a hole in it filled with water. I wanted a pool for 15 years before we put one in our back yard. My DH is not much of a swimmer (although he says he'll get in the pool more when I get the heater fixed) so he's not in the pool too much.

    I'm not a "boat" person so I'd choose the pool. We've been in our house a long time and so I don't know what would happen should we decide to sell the house.

    Maybe you should try an AG pool -- that way you'd get a little taste of both the good and the bad of owning a pool. Did you look at some of the pool pictures posted for AG and IG pools -- there are some really neat pools that the members of this site own!

    I love my IG pool and wished I'd splurged a little bit more. But, we did pay for our pool (Took all those 15 years to save up! LOL)

    I'm sure you'll get other opinions -- but my vote -- POOL! : )

    my pool was here when we bought our house..matter of fact, bought the property for the house (even though the pool of course was attractive to the kids, 9 and 11 at the time 3 years ago..i remember thinking of 2 things though relative to the pool. the expense and time to maintain..and when you go to resell, the affect on the value of the home. i guess if i were you, i'd really consider your geographic location. if you're in a place where pools are common, i'd say you'll get your moneys worth..if you're in a place like i am ..population 80,000 and only 250 pools..it's not a great investment towards the property..matter of fact,when i looked again at our property value report against 3 other homes, the house was devalued in the pool sense by 8,000.
