Because it's hard to get an engine or a woman to turn over on a cold morning.

I have so much in common with my boat, it MUST be a guy.

She references are all about some old well designed pretty schooner or a Classic Rybovich and even that is Iffy.

Their all money Sukin material things that most women could only inspire to.

Because, just like a woman, she Focks me whenever "SHE" wants to. Not the inverse!

My favorite has always been "stretch her sea legs". I think I may have stretched my wife's sea legs a few times while boating, but I haven't figured out how to do that to the boat yet.

Rodney Dangerfield explained it the best...

He said I always wondered why people refer to their cars as "she"... "She" needs new tires, "she" needs an oil change, "she" needs a wax job, and so on. But then it finally occurred to me, that cars are like women because so many times on a cold morning when you really need it, neither one of them will turn over...
