Insure it for liability only and accept your own risks in this world.


Can't. The bank requires insurance that covers the loan amount.

Pay cash.


I did for every boat I've owned up until now. I just didn't have 100 grand
laying around, but I could afford the payments.

I don't know too many guys in their mid-30's who have a house, boat, car,
etc. paid for in cash.




You paid for that house in cash? Thought I read that you mortgaged it
and only make interest payments.

I think you missed a few posts, or you misunderstood what you read.

Think small

No thanks. Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life.

You think that because someone has a boat that they really like,
although it may be smaller than yours is "unmotivated"? Do you think
that just because someone isn't financially overextended is
"unmotivated"? I think that people who overextend just for appearances
are fools.

bk, do you think that NOYB was trying to be controversial in his statement?
Maybe he was just saying how *he* feels about life, and not passing any
judgements on others.

Why the attacks?

It's a nice Sunday...chill out.

No, John, he certainly was, and always has, passed judgements on

I'm discussing only the post you responded to, not the past few years.

I'm surprised that you'd take a philosophical comment like, "Thinking small

judgement on you.

Since I was the one who advised to "think small", I thought NOYB was
jabbing at me. Maybe I should have said 'think modestly'.
Obviously some here have no need to even consider that, but I stand by
my common sense advice.

No, I didn't think he was passing judgement on me. He was, however,
passing judgement on Don. As I said before, that's all he does here is
pass judgement on others.

NOYB can't think small, because the stuff he has is making up for his
lack of manhood!

Nah. He came back with a bit of philosophy to counteract the bit you gave
him. He's already bought his boat, so 'thinking small' wouldn't work for
this one anyway. Thinking small is what I'm doing for my *next* boat -
maybe a 17-18'er.

Attack mode. Why? You weren't attacked.

Here it is, a nice Sunday, lot's of friendly conversation on a range of
subjects, and you come in like a rabid pit bull...

Why? What does it serve?

OK, you stated your opinion. My opinion is different. In either case,
they're both opinions.

NOYB has talked of his practice, his house, his boat, his insurance, his
fishing, his finances, and his politics, among other things. None of that
is 'passing judgement', so to say that's *all* he does here wouldn't be
quite truthful, would it?

Read what he wrote again, he didn't write that "he" paid cash for
everything.
