If the guy gets his asking price, it means he "only" spent $16,000, plus the
sales tax on the original price, plus operating expenses to use his boat for
100 hours in seven years, or about $250 per hour for about 15 hours each year.
I bet you could get laid for that kind of money, and have your choice of hair
color and breast size.

Because even an idiot usually doesn't like to get laughed at.

Just curious--why do you assume that he operated the boat only as a power
boat and never shut off the engine and put up sails?

And, this guy isn't so big a fool as to want to keep the damn thing.

This shmuck only kept this thing for less than 3 years, look what he ended
up getting. In his defense, it must be noted that it only took him less than
3 years to figure out that he didn't want to be a mac owner, took the other
guy seven.

a Mac with the sails up just wallows and that is awfully boring to a
powerboat
guy.

Rubbish, they sail quite well off the breeze.

nah, they wallow like a drunken turkey waddling downhill, lust in its eyes.

Perhaps they are both getting the new & improved ''M'' model?

I don't think he'll be able to get that
much for a used outboard engine.

1. If he bought the boat in 1997, he didn't spend anywhere near what
the new Macs cost this year. His basis is substantially lower, and his
depreciation corresponds with the selling price and is also
substantially lower than you suggest. You really ought to get your facts
straight before posting libelous statements like that one.

2. The fact that he didn't have time to take the boat out more often is
no more significant than the fact that most of the owners of large boats
in our marina don't take their boats out often. .. Jax, I don't know
whether telling the truth is of any interest to you (probably not), but
you should really consider taking a course in logic and statistics and
intellectual honesty before you spout libelous garbage like that on the www.

Jim

I'm sure he'll do that as soon as you buy a quality boat.
