As a boat owner, here are my two favorites:
"BOAT: acronym for 'Break Out Another Thousand'"
"A boat is a hole in the water into which one throws money."
Sadly, it's true. Worth it to me -- for the sublime life experiences I think my family and I wouldn't have had any other way -- but it makes no fiscal sense.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoI recall reading this one somewhere: "There were two happiest days in my life. First one, the day I bought a boat. Second one, the day I sold that boat."

- hycaria 8y agoMy father has a sailing boat which needs maintenance like a house and a car, since you can live on it and it has motors, except you're fighting against corrosion and water all the time. He does a fair share himself but crucial stuff (hull, sealings, ...) is safer when done by pros. And equipment is outrageously expensive : Sails ? 10k. Desalination machine ? 15k and so on...
