Back to the boat. You know, the thing I worked my ass off to get for the
last 30 years. I own it ... it's paid for, but now that I can enjoy it,
some people think I should pay extra just for the privilege of having it.

And don't talk to me about fuel. I suspect I use far less per season than
most people on this NG. (except maybe one person).

Can't win.

Oh yeah .... Harry ... there *used* to be a luxury tax applied to boats up
here. It was found to be unconstutional and discarded years ago.

Not being the sharpest knife int he drawer on such matters I have to
ask:


If no "luxury tax, then what is the

some people think I should pay extra just for the privilege of
having it.

And I thought you spent a lot of time on the boat, so why do you have
to go back to it???

I was referring to some opinions presented here on wrecked.boats.
As to why I "have" to go back ....... it's because I can ..... and I want
to.

To think of the hours I'd have saved, daily, if we'd had the 'no polish'
army boots of today.

Other than that, what could you possibly have against Army boots?

I'll tell you the truth - if I had a boat like the Navigator, I'd be
on it as much as I could. I had enclosures on the Contenders and it
wasn't much of a stretch for me to just go to the boat, turn on a
little propane heater and just sit there watching the world go by.

Maybe a couple of more years - if Mrs. Wave ever decides to actually
retire. :)
