Default Holy bovine Batman!

I just drove by a Jet Ski on someone's lawn for $18,500.00 or BO. Do
people really pay more for one of these obnoxious things *used* than I did
for a boat that I could live on and go around the world in if I was
inclined?

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise considering the cost of motorcycles and
outboard motors but it just points out what a bargain used fiberglass boats
are. Looks like someone on Ebay is going to get a 41 foot ketch for not
much more than I paid for my 32 footer.

There is no financial excuse not to be out there cruising under sail if
that's what you want to do.
