I don't boat recreationally. I'm a boat junkie. I spent all my money on boats and boating related products and now I'm homeless and sucking dick just for cheap bottled boats.

I don't dare buy those nasty processed stuff sold in the stores. Handcrafted artisan sunscreen made from human placentas. Expensive but worth it!

It ceases to be a boat and becomes a ship at that point. And there's a joke rattling around somewhere about that whole million dollar boat rug thing versus dying baby argument somewhere, but it's probably too dated by now.

Otherwise, yep, if you were a rich celebrity wanting to murder another rich celebrity, a boat is the way to do it. Club them over the head, weigh their body down, throw it overboard, float along for a few dozen nautical miles, then report some "terrible accident!".

no one should own a boat

everyone should have a friend who owns a boat

a conundrum
growing up, my dad's friend owned a boat, and he'd takes us out to lakes. it owned since we didnt have to deal with maintenance/storage/transport. its kinda amazing how much trouble it is to keep one working condition so yea, unless you have more money than sense you shouldn't own one, just know someone who does :hfive:

we did have jet skis growing up (a 90s as gently caress thing), holy poo poo they were fun for the 10 days out of the year they actually worked out of the 355 days they didn't work. nothing quite like drinking a sobe, grilling some dogs along the shore and zipping around on the water.

My dad owns like two or three boats. But he is a fisherman so they're all purely occupational tools and pretty small.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
like seriously if you want to buy a boat just take 10% of what you think you'll pay for it, hand it to a buddy and say "take me out on your boat now and then". your cost/hour will be less than if you purchased a real boat and you will have none of the heartache and purchasing quantity 192 of this particular wood screw that is $0.75 apiece because there's a squeak in the foredeck

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

You better believe it. You can't get a DUI on the water because there are no buildings to run into.

The correct answer is, drinking while boating is illegal, but we pretend to obey the law while the cops pretend to enforce it. Without beer/booze there is literally zero reason to own or go on a boat

this is why fishing simultaneously owns, its boring as poo poo when you go out with your dad/grandpa at 5 years old with nothing but an stale pb&j and root beer, but it owns when you're that the dad/grandpa with a 12 pack of beer
