Was it really worth it? Do you feel you would have been better off spending the money on a more worthwhile investment, like a hot tub or a timeshare?

i do not own a boat but my sister does and during the few handful of days/year that the weather allows it we go out boating in Skärgården, which is like an archipelago in Sweden and it's basically the best loving thing ever. You go out there you find a small island and you grill some food and drink or maybe fish or something and just chill in the sun. THere are also some houses out on these small island and small chill restaurants and poo poo you can visit








If I lived in a country where the weather isnt poo poo 90% of the year i'd probably get a boat myself

I have a hot tub and an 18' pontoon, which I bought used. Each were about $5k. Each cost me a few hundred dollars a year in maintenance. If you asked me a few years ago I'd have said the boat was a better purchase, but with time it's becoming more of a pain in the rear end, while the hot tub continues to be awesome. There's nothing like ending the day with a glass of red wine, a nice cigar and a soak in the hot tub.

edit: both to each... also, do you have kids? mine loved the boat at first but now dread it because it's boring, and the cell reception on the river where we keep it isn't great. They still like the hot tub though, and it's a nice draw for their friends. Basically I'm telling you to get a hot tub. The only downside is the electric bill is brutal for a few months a year.

I was given an old town canoe by my dad, I ended up selling it on craigslist as it was in rugged shape. I think a kayak would be alright.

Doesn't the entire sea freeze up during winter? What happens to the boats then? I always wondered that. I mean, aside from that old timey sailing ship that got frozen in the ice during some war and then they were assaulted by a cavalry charge across the ice. That was always an awesome idea, who'd expect a cavalry charge against a ship?

That's a high quality avatar right there.
After spending my entire childhood watching my dad throw tantrums over a boat that was broken more than it worked, I'm all set with boats. Maybe I'll get a canoe one day, but that's about all I'm willing to invest in.

In a lot of the places here people pull their boats up on land and cover them up, either in like a big sheet or they have a building in a boatclub for them etc


like, when summertime is over all these boats for example are usually hooked up to a thing that is hooked up to a car and then the owners can take the boats to like, "Boat Parking Lots" where they can store them over winter or if they own a really small boat they can maybe even fit it in their own garage
