I would agree with all of this except for one problem. It's not his
house. He's just an invited guest. The girlfriend is the one that'll
wind up on the hot seat when things escalate. I don't think I'd want
to put someone else in that position be it girlfriend, platonic
friend, family, or anyone else.

But don't sell the boat. There's bound to be another way.

Don't assume she won't go to bat for him (and the Boat if she loves it too).
Fact is you can still do whatever you want based on the net reaction time of
your foes. As someone else said: By the time they can properly react to
the dreaded boat being serviced.... it's already gone. And the ****er is,
you give them the credit for "being right" - so you took it out.

Then do it again - and again - making sure they win every single battle and
still loose the war.
