Yup...drysail is the term we use.
Out of the almost 8000 hours in a year, my boat might average 25 in the
water. (if we really like this new boat, that might be a bit higher) In
four years the Legend didn't spend one night in the water.


With only 25 hours of use, I would look at renting a nice boat when I
wanted on the water.

We did that last year. Rented a boat on four of our trips for the day. Cost a total of about $1500,
usually split 4-6 ways. Much, much cheaper than buying, and still got about 25 hours use out of
them. But, if I lived on a lake or bay, I'd get another. Probably a Key West. Fell in 'like' with
that boat.

Yup . It doesn't make sense for a city boy to own something that he can
rent for much less out of pocket. Plus, he doesn't have the monthly
payments, storage, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, stale fuel,
cost of a motorized dolly wheel, and other worries.
