How about this... if it sinks, you can have my boat in exchange. I
think that's fair! It would be about the same value don't you think.


Now that was a cruel remark.

Sure, that's what they all say.

... When's the last time you had yours surveyed?


Jim, this is one of those remarks that reveals the
cluelessness of the speaker. Ever consider following Ben
Franklin's advice?

Most boats are surveyed only when they are sold, or when the
insurance company demands it for some reason such as a major
change in location or repair. Furthermore a survey is not a
statement of market value (although some surveys are
occasionally presented as such).

When was the last time you had your boat surveyed?
