I do have a boat.

- Boats are massively expensive
- I don't go to the coast often
- Sailing takes more time than I have
I play with other people's boats every once in a while instead.
If I wanted a moneypit, I think I'd get a plane instead. An L-39 would be pretty neat.

does that mean you can't swim?
"The two happiest days for a man who owns a boat are the day he buys it and the day he sells it again."

Do they sell Utz nationwide now or are you in the northwest?
Cars are typically the second most valuable asset a person owns, yet 96-99% of its time is spent sitting. A boat is about as expensive (not counting dock fees, maintenance, etc) and spends even more time unused.
Plus I'd need a car/truck that could tow it, plus a trailer... plus a desire to be on a boat.
Why do people own boats?

>why don't you have a boat, /o/?
1. Put on your best suit of clothes
2. Stand in the shower and turn it on full blast cold
3. Begin tearing up hundred dollar bills
If this sounds like fun, owning a boat may be for you!
i'm afraid of open water
>>14856173
You don't have a bought
You don't know how expensive and/or time consuming it is to have a remotely decent boat let alone a sailboat like that.
a lot of people on /o/ own camaros OP
The happiest moment is when you buy a boat and when you sell it

>why don't you have a boat
I do, and let me tell you why it's fucking trash
>Either get a trailer or have extra rent to pay every month to put it in a dock
>have to winterize it every year
>Shit breaks all the goddamn time
>When shit breaks it's near impossible to actually get to it
>Either put it on a trailer and fill at a gas station or pay $15/gal for gas at a marina
>Paint is a bitch to do because gelcoat
>Everything gets wet
>you don't realize just how shitty those channels smell until you go through them
>Everything. Fucking. Breaks.
>Assholes in bigger boats fuck your shit up with gigantic wakes/roost you. Seriously, fuck them
Fuck boats.

Oh, I forgot to mention Propellers. $80 for a fucking prop. They get chewed to shit by seaweed. Seriously, I think I could fucking make a more durable one out of some fucking cheap ass particleboard and a saw in my garage. Every other fucking month you're replacing SOMETHING, and the minimum cost is $80. Everything is just fucking shoved in there. You thought cars were hard to work on? Ever see the engine bay of a Testarossa? That's a fucking boat.
Seriously, fuck boats.

can't sink in the road, no chutulu in the tarmac. all roads lead home, the ocean just leads to death.
I have a boat
2 in fact. 1 owned by me (Boston Whaler 190 Montauk), 1 split between my father and I (Bluewater 2550), and 1 owned entirely by my father (Formula 382 Fastech).
My dad owns a boat and we wakeboard most weekends during spring/summer so I think he gets good use out of it. Boats are fucking expensive though it was like 50 grand to buy and almost every few trips something breaks and needs to be fixed. Plus you have to pay for somewhere to keep it and pay for all the stuff on the boat.

seaweed doesnt destroy props
cavitation does
cavitation is pretty rough

Because I can't swim, I stopped trying when I had a drowning accident as a child and the trauma was set in for life. Only a few months ago I tried again but couldn't learn to even float myself .. I gave up

Appreciate cars and not boats, or hand in your resignation.
I live in the desert.

If I wanted to go slow and get hit in the face by the wind, I could just buy an old Miata.

Learn to swim. It's not hard and it could literally save your life if some assclown decides to knock you into a pool at a party or something. Just stay in the shallow end and kick your feet, use your arms. It's simple.

This is the national average. If you have a 30-minute commute, that accounts for an hour per day of driving. That's only 4% of a 24-hour day, so 96% of the time your car is sitting in a garage. Add in third cars and project cars, and the average driving time decreases a few percent. Hence 99%.
/o/ will have different numbers but I doubt many non-professional drivers regularly spend more than 10% of their day (2.4 hours) behind the wheel.

This made me think of boats having one thing I wish cars had, an hour counter. It would sure put an end to all the "it's all highway miles m8".
Also have 3 boats and 2 jetskis.

Trucks have them.
