Re: Boats bad investments???
I would just add that there are very few hobbies ( if any ) that are considered a " good investment "......
Playing golf, fishing, surfing, etc...none returns an investment although very few are as expensive as boating !

Boats ..... investments....
Well from what I ear it's a lot cheaper than ex-wives as an investment...
and you can pound the hell out of a boat without buying dinner and all that crap.

Exactly!!
If you in any way even think about boating as being an investment you need to take some financial planning courses. There aren't many people that actually need a boat so for the rest of us boating is strictly for pleasure, you just have to decide how much your willing to spend on it.

Boating is entertainment. It costs period. I would recommend buying a boat that is a few years old. You can use it for a few years and still get a reasonable amount of money back.

Ok, here it is. How to be a millionaire in the boat business.
Start with $2 million and then get out as fast as you can.
(I love that one)

Maybe a better topic might be how to avoid taking a beating on a boat.
Let's see.....because of my boat, I don't have a weekly shrink bill. Does that count?
