You can't afford a boat? What the hell is there to afford there? I
bought my brothers boat this spring. Ten year old Bayliner 20 foot
speedboat we use for skiing, cruising the Bighorn Canyon, etc. After the
initial outlay of $8000 it costs virtually nothing to own. 32 gallons of
gas lasts a weekend.

Wait until the outdrive craps out, or some other major engine problem
surfaces.

Boat stands for "break out another thousand."
