Heh, what makes you think that trawlers are cheap? Have you bought
800 gallons of diesel recently in a foreign country?


I can't imagine it.. you've gotta be made of money.

Not really, just comfortable and frugal with the unnecessary.

Guys I used to work with would joke around and say things like:
"Wayne, you must really be wealthy having all these boats".

I'd always reply that they didn't understand how it works, that I
might really be wealthy if I didn't have any boats at all.

Since you are thinking about buying a boat, the moral of the story is
to be careful what you ask for.


Isn't that true with just about everything. I went through this on my way to
my business. Got two concurrent undergrad degrees, then got two concurrent
grad degrees. Got my "dream" job at a big firm, then did consulting with a
partner for companies for even more bucks. Then, realized I was totally
wasting my time working for other people. I had no reason to believe my
hobbie would turn into a profitable business, which is actually pretty fun.
And, I still get to help the individual inventor from time to time. At this
point, we're talking about chucking it all for 2-3 years, and seeing how it
goes, with no agenda other than exploring.

Perhaps you're wealthy because you have boats (I read that right... boats?).
