rkbabang Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 A boat? ;D Highly recommended. I bought one in October of 2019. It has been a godsend. My wife and I spent just about all our free time out on Lake Winnipesaukee this spring, summer, and fall. A boat is great for social distancing. Also in case Biden gets any crazy gun control passed I lost all of my guns in a tragic boating incident this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregmal Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 A boat? ;D There s a good saying, "if it drives, flies, floats, or fucks, rent it"... That said, I totally agree with rkbabang as a boat owner. Expensive, but totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably the best advice one can give in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's better to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwericb Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I doubt there isn't a boat owner that hasn't heard the old joke, "A boat is a hole in the water you try to fill up with money". Gotta say there is a lot of truth in that, especially in Canada where the season is short. After boating since I was a kid and four boats I am now a retired boater. PS My next boat was going to be named "WOFTAM" * * Waste Of F**king Time And Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valueinvestor Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Bought some SE. Hat tip to valueinvestor. You've definitely got a very unique approach and respectable track record with these sort of names. Means a lot! Glad to be a fellow shareholder and planning to buy some more ahead of earnings.

chrispy Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 You have to love and dream of boating to make paying for one worth it. If you have a non 9-5 M-F schedule, boat clubs are a great choice. You are able to take a variety of boats out during low demand times and not worry about a thing for a flat few thousand a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooDiligence Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'd echo the rental option. No clean up after a trip. No worries about maintenance. That said, if you rent a number of different hull types (deep v, flat bottom, cat hull, deck or pontoon) you'll discover what you like. I bought a 20' Godfrey Marine pontoon in 1994 & it is still in my boat lift. It's on it's second outboard now. I love my pontoon. The rectangular shape means no wasted space for maximum deck utilization. It's slow but I'm not in a hurry. It's stable & I've had it out in some rough weather. Inland only, I see no need to go offshore with it. If you want to go offshore, a pontoon is a poor choice. Other than that, I have 2 words of advice: fuel stabilizer. Let me add a few more words that will make your life easier: crank and run your engine every week in the off season and grease and actuate the steering too or it will freeze up.

Someone else owned it through the steep part of the depreciation curve. They're the cigar butts of the boating world. If you really want to be frugal you can buy one for not much more than the scrap value of the lead keel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 2007 Sea-Doo Utopia jetboat. 20' bowrider with dual 155hp engines and the best part for lake boating: no prop to damage. Floats in just over a foot of water.

The "prop damage" issue is one reason it might make sense to own rather than rent. I decided against renting a boat this summer when I checked the reviews for the only marina on the lake with rentals. A huge percentage of the reviews said they had been charged their full $1000 damage deposit for damaging the prop. I'm sure that happens with renters, but the frequency was such that either they have a gravel bar they don't mention right out front or they're scamming people. So we went go-karting instead.
