haha my grandfather use to have a carved wood sign on their sun poorch that said pretty much the same thing. something along the lines of "a boat is a dry hole in the water into which one pours money".

I had a 30 (88' Regal) and it was a fast boat for the power we had and very fun to drive.

I had the same sign on my 1962 35' Owens cruiser, My first boat, "Man Look at me!" Paid 18K for the boat / slip was $150.00 month, 2 weeks after purchase slip $350 month + electricity / 6 months later got a call "boat sinking" / I was out of the country. Slip owner $75.00 per day to pump out the boat for 45 days till I returned. No one would pull the boat out for repairs because, "it's a wooden boat". Bought a 40' trailer $9k bought 6 new tires $780.00 and F650 truck $4k . Pulled it out, bent both twin screws. Repair est. 16K, Sold the boat and trailer for 7K and had to finance it 2 years. Truck got totaled out in front of my house with libility insurance only and the guy that ran into it had no insurance and tried to sue me for parking it where I did, no success on law suit. True story. Moral, "Hole in water which one pours money into, but it's great to own one.
