Answer 1

Boats are often refer ed to as   A hole in the water  ,in which you throw in lots of money,... does that answer your question,

Answer 2

Not if you have a lot of money!!! Boat= Bring Out Another Thousand!!!!!!

Answer 3

its all in what you want at your age i had nearly 10 years of cruising under my belt,I am 44 now on my 16 motor yacht and worked hard to get here,but the cost is like anything the bigger  the higher the cost,this girl is a 52 ft Chris craft it is around a 100 to 200 aday to run but i really do not stop alot to think about it.If i did i would be in a trailer park some where,the fuel is really getting out of hand a fill up is now well over 2 grand,then the up keep is another and god forbid a break down which can happen anytime  

Answer 4

BOAT = "A hole in the water, into which yiou throw money".  And the American writer P J O'Rourke said sailing was "standing in the shower ripping up $500 bills".
