I can understand the thought of "Smaller bow-rider type boats are
gold."

And the bigger yachts are being venerable in a market. Chuck was
probably right, about the second mortgages etc. and 600 thousand is a
bit steep for the average working stiff to be paying for a yacht,
especially one that will probably do more sitting than cruising. not
counting maintenance and slop fees that go on wether the boat is being
used or not.

Still, there are people out there that have "serious" money that can
buy a boat like that and put it on a credit card. But I suppsoe a
person can get bored with anything, especially if you have the funds
to pay for such comodities.

out of curiosity, could the boat be chartered out for the weeekeders
and time share crowd??




Then again.



A $600,000 barge of a boat on the Lake of the Ozarks is absurd. But I
guess it is the appropriate place for one of those monstrosities.

The last time I was down there, there were lots of beautiful inboard
mahogany runabouts just about everywhere, and for us normal folk, 16'
ski boats with outboards. Sounds like the place has really gone downhill.
