Besides your ranting because you can't afford a decent boat,
what is your point?

The average idiot buys a boat for say 100K and finances it
for ten
years. He fits it out and keeps it in a slip. The fitting
out costs 20K,
the slip costs 5K per year, the insurance costs 1K a year.
Haulout for
bottom paint 1K a year. Fuel 1/2K a year.

After ten years the idiot has spent 250K paying back the
loan, 20K
fitting out, 50K slip fee, 10K insurance, 10K haulout, 5K
fuel, oil,
filters, etc.

345K invested in a 100K boat that perhaps can be sold in
ten years for
75K. Net loss of 270K. You pay 27 thousand dollars a year
to use your
boat a dozen or so weekends a year. Stupid, just plain
stupid!

Think about it.
