Having a large boat for recreation (rather than work, like fishing) is sort of a cultural symbol for wealth (in the USA, anyway). The California Lottery's current TV spot shows a youngish guy on a yacht, with a pony. It's perhaps inspired by the old Lyle Lovett song, "If I Had a Boat", which says: "If I had a boat I'd sail across the ocean and if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat."
