The bottom line is that you will be shocked at how slowly you are
actually paying the boat off until the last few years of the loan.

I understand, as I'm quite familiar with amortization tables. However,
with
my income, I need all the write-off's I can get. I'd prefer to spend
pleasure money on something tax deductible vs. European vacations or cars
or
resorts or.......

then buy a - boat - . look around for a grand banks or whatever in the
40 foot category - why screw around with a cuddy cabin?

I have free moorage for a 26 footer. One of my best friends owns a floating
home with a boathouse, just large enough for a 26 foot boat. Also, I like
that size of boat for the Columbia.. When I retire, different story. We'll
want a 32+ footer to cruise the loop.
