You can't just consider the boat - you have to consider travel time
and the tow.


True, and I have. the travel 'n tow for me is about an hr and a half
one way (60mi) I can go to a smaller lake 40 mi (1 hr) or I can go
two hrs (90 mi )and hit the Ohio river, Car got approx 15 mpg while
towing,a nd the type of boating I did was with a 4-cyl 3.0 chevy and
we never used over 10 gal of gas at a time on a full day at the lake.


True, but you are dealing with a bigger, heavier boat with more
horsepower now.

And I would imagine that as a small business owner, you can write off
some of the costs with "petty cash" expenses.

Not that you would do that. :)
