I screwed that up. I didn't mean a financial return. More of a "use"

I know.

For our purposes nothing less would really do. Our retirement model
that we finally agreed on was to have a house in the south and a boat
north to live on in the summer. We also considered having a home
north but given the relatively short summer season in the northeast,
and the fact that we also wanted to cruise the Bahamas and points
south, a boat made more sense. If operating costs get too high we
could always leave the boat north for the winter but I'd hate to do
that. The trip is always an adventure and it's nice having the boat
docked behind the house ready to go anytime we are.

I think you're fighting the jealousy giant with a couple folks here.

No, I don't think that.

Different strokes for different folks, that's all.

Take some photos. I haven't seen 26' waves since Skipper, Dan, and Bert
Robbins swirled around the toilet bowl on their way to the septic tank.


They must recycle sewage effluent south of the border. Dan's still here
(or at least his evil twin Freddie) and now Burpie is back... or is that
Bertie?
If Skipper shows up we may have to invite some 'ole time religion' to
counteract all the negativity.

Speaking about effluent.......
Just got back from walking my Springer Spaniel in Point Pleasant Park. I saw
5 , (count 'em 5) surfers having a ball in the inner harbour on 7-8 foot
waves.
First time I've ever seen this. Even though we're finally are getting our
new sewage treatment plants up & running, they're only an advanced stage1
type.
Yuck... like surfing in a septic tank
On the bright side...tree loss down there not too bad this time.

Just a bit of humor at the follies of owning too large of a HT boat.

What is the folly? To someone with a 14' jon boat, your Parker is too
large. Would they be right in laughing at a huge repair bill you may have?

There's something strange about your attitude.

Harry is just being his old weird self. He's compensating for
something.

Lack of a transom?

That was too easy... :)

Now you're replying to yourself? Don't you have chores to do, dummy?

Doesn't seem like such a bad option when I see what idiots like you spew in
here.

Yes, low blow.

I think it's higher up.

It would be fairly easy to run the numbers but I have no interest

That would take some of the fun out of it.

It would take all the fun out of it.

When I had my Contenders, other than fuel usage, I was like you - I
didn't want to know the total operating cost.

If only because I couldn't justify the boats if I did know. :)

However, Mrs. Wave, being the practical Irish lady she is, knew it to
the penny.

~~ mutter ~~

My wife does not admit to knowing. Just got delivery of new fenders to
replace the 16 year old ones on the trailer that have developed cracks.
Most expensive problem at the moment is the fact the gas gage is reading
near empty after the weekend crabbing. And since it is a 67 gallon tank,
will cost more than the fenders.
