Boaters are nuts

For $1.7 million, that guy could have bought himself a nice used
Citation, and paid a pilot to fly him anywhere in the world for the

but instead he gets pickled every weekend aboard a floating bar that
never sails.

He probably didn't pay cash, he financed it.. 20, 30, 40 year loans,
and if you live on it 2 weeks a year its a second home. So he has a
boat, with no cash flow to take it anywhere.

What I don't understand is why we don't see more "partnership
arrangements" like you see with aircraft ownership. Stick a hobbs
meter on the engine (most have one already) and pay a fixed plus
hourly cost. Trade weeks, etc.

My father owns a boat, and he's on it at most every OTHER weekend.
