So, if boating is important to you, move to place where marinas are cheaper.

Not really. I bet it feels good though.

Nobby said he's paying $5K a month on an interest-only mortgage.... my
slip doesn't cost that much in two years. My slip plus my mortgage
aren't half what his cost.

My wife and I sporadically look at waterfront property, but the premium
is too high most places that are actually desirable. When the bubble
bursts, maybe we'll buy in... but not in Florida, for sure. Been there,
done that.
