Don, please tell me where you got the idea that I no longer own a boat.
You
sound much like JimH, but he's got an excuse.

Sorry.. thought I read that you gave it to the kids and took up golfing.

"I'm planning to give the boat to the kids, although I've not figured out
exactly how to do it yet. But, right now the boat is being stored and
maintained at an annual cost of about $3300, and it's getting very little
use." - JohnH, rec.boats, August, 2006

Let me see if my memory can recall the name of somebody who posted to
this forum for *years* without owning a boat. (I think he finally
bought an older runabout).

Hmm. Can't quite conjure it up. However, if I really put my mind to it
I'll bet the name will come to me. :-)

Hey Chuck, all I did was remind him what he posted. Comprendo?

I am glad all he was doing was reminding JohnH what he posted. I
thought he was going to start on another one of his post where he
chastised JohnH and others for being non boaters.

I *have* taken up golfing, if you can call it that, but I haven't 'given'
the boat to the kids. I've moved the boat to a marina on the Rappahannock
River where they can have access to it, and we have agreed to split the
storage and maintenance costs.

But...I've yet to receive a dime from any of them, and this was done last
November!

IIRC, someone here said that would be the case, but I don't mind. The ones
that had owned the Chaparral had to sell it to pay for the breast cancer
treatment not covered by insurance. It works out pretty good because I
don't fish on weekends, and they work during the week. This way everyone
can play with it.

I couldn't find the message you 'quoted', JimH. But I did find the one
below. Note that I put the whole message here, not my 'version' of the
message.

Perhaps reading comprehension is still a problem?

I will soon be moving my boat down to the Rappahannock River to make it
available to my kids for their use. Right now the drive for them is much
too long. As part of the deal, we three families will share expenses for
storage, maintenance, and insurance. I will retain title to the boat.

I'd like to draw up an agreement of some sort for such a use of the
boat.
Any ideas on what considerations I should include therein?

John



Second, you are headed for disaster. Family members as boat partners is
a bad idea, especially for a guy like you who keeps his boat very clean.



I agree with Harry .... family or not, multiple people owning the same boat
is not good for relationships. (Ask me how I know).

I subscribe to the idea that a gift should be given with no strings attached
and no expectations as to the gift's future. I remember many, many years
ago (early 70's) I acquired a small, beat up 12 foot aluminum boat.
My father-in-law, being the pac-rat that he is, rummaged around in his
garage and came up with a 1950's vintage 5 hp Johnson outboard that was
literally a basket case. It was completely disassembled and the parts were
contained in three wooden boxes. I played with it for a while, then stored
the boxes of parts away. At some point in our many moves and housecleaning
the boxes got thrown in the dump.

23 years later my father-in-law said, "If you aren't going to use that
outboard I gave you, I'll take it back and see if I can get it running".

It's not a gift. I'll retain title. They can share the major expenses for
the use of the boat. Hell, they've offered to pay *all* the expenses if I
let them use the boat.
