Default Many boats are not being used.

Its folks like this that keep us in business. They want to go for a boat
ride, and alas, no boat...The customers have found its cheaper to "rent"
a boat and Captain for an afternoon's fishing or a day cruise.

Of course, we are getting into the "slow season" of the year, so
everything is going on dry dock for bottom jobs and the mechanical
systems are given a thorough going through.

I see tons of old boats(cars and RVs too) that are just sitting there
rotting for years. I guess lots of people just don't want to take the time
to get rid of them and others probably want too much for them.

I think people should just put a sign on them and say "take me" or "offer
me something" and get rid of them so someone can put some time and money
into it and have some fun.



Often folks obtain these recreational items and really are/were into them.
Time constraints and other obligations won't allow usage as much as the owner
would like. But, maybe the owner still has dreams and hopes to be able to
fulfill them via the rec item in the driveway one day soon.....that day may
never come.
