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.
