That’s when you become Ski Trip Guy.
You can even keep using the same shades! How convenient!
Nah boat guy with those shades will definitely go snowmobile guy
Oh good shout.
Or they become DJ guy.
Five or six months of people to hang out with on the water, every now and then an hj from some bored girl while her friends swim and then you get six months to chill and recuperate to prepare for next year’s socializing season. Almost makes a boat seem worth it.
The best two days of boat ownership are the day you bought it, and the day you sold it.
Only if you don’t utilize the implication
Just like a pool it’s better to have a friend with a boat then own one.
Also there’s a joke here in a Ontario you can tell someone is wealthy if they have boat money because Jesus Christ they burn through gas.
Ehhh if you get like an 18 foot fiberglass outboard and have a truck and a driveway it’s worth it.
Sailboats of any type, boats with cabins and / or decks, that’s a fucking full time job, f that.
I know it should set off alarms when there are always sailboats for sale relatively cheap but I struggle to resist the urge to buy a cabin sailboat I can sleep in. In my imagination it’ll be like an RV but in the Gulf.
To simulate sailboat ownership, turn your shower on maximum cold, stand directly under the faucet, and tear $100 bills into pieces.
(Not my joke)
That is a funny joke and I’ve heard others like it but I guess I just don’t know enough about boats to understand why it’d be so terrible.
A fiberglass shell with an outboard is like a Costco chef’s knife, it does the job and you basically just need to clean it and whet it to keep it at around 90% performance, with very occasional sharpening. Cutting tomatoes kinda sucks.
A sailboat is like owning a single-faced Japanese watered steel knife. You better clean that thing and dry it and oil it every time. You have to either learn a very very delicate time consuming process to keep it in shape that you do every month, or you have to take it to a specialist who will charge you your hat and ass. It’s far harder to correctly operate if you want to get the results you see on tv.
And, if you try it once and you know you’ve fallen in love with sailing for the rest of your life, go volunteer at a local sailing club. Maybe get a small fiberglass catamaran with a sail.
Under no circumstances should you get a wooden sailboat unless you are floor-ckreakingly rich, or it is your lifestyle.
I have to buy a boat, a truck and a driveway? Look at mr moneybags over here
Certainly helps to live somewhere like South Carolina.
But then you have to live in satan’s armpit…
You cook with what you got in the fridge, sibling
If it floats, fucks or flys, it will be a nightmare.
This explains waterfowl.
Just a couple more years and it’ll be boat season all year 'round!
On what lakes. Around me shits drying up and way low.
And they have to worry about all the problems and expenses of owning a boat.
Said to be 10% of its new price every year on average. In 10 years you’ll have bought it twice.
Get a big enough boat and boat season never has to end.

Fall is coming…
