Boat owners fancy themselves the Captains of their ship, and practically
have seizures at the idea of somebody else doing it.

And airplane owners are different?

Probably not, but I can't think of any boat partnerships or
partial-ownership. The yacht clubs are usually BYOY.

I actually have known about a couple boat partnerships with large sailboats.

Same here, and still do, but they are powered.

In fact, my Beech co-owner is also co-owner of a boat and his business.

The boat and business were positive factors in me buying the plane with
him, as his other partners had already "broken him in". G Since
partnerships are more about the people than the item...

I also know folks who have happily shared vacation homes, season tickets
for major league sports, etc... for many years.

That's good to know. Not so many with smaller boats and runabouts, I bet,
as you'd find with C-172s, etc.
