I lucked out.
First, I found mine sitting in a Wal-Mart parking lot with a For Sale sign on it. Owner wanted to unload it and the price was way below market value. Second, I had a small inheritance.

Hard work (two jobs for almost 20 years) and going in debt up to your eyeballs is the usual way.
At least that's the way I've gotten all I own. And everything but the house is paid for.

hard work, get your priorities straight :D and it helps that banks finance up to 20 years :eek:

Re: How do you do it ?
 

Not everything here is worth a fortune (market value). Some were purchased at a depressed value for many different reasons. Lots are works of passion that the owner has, or is currently working on to make into an expression of one's self.
By the pound, :evilb: a boat is way less expensive than.... say a custom Harley :D :D :D

I dunno how they afford these new boats at $200,000+, either there is a lot of wealthy people out there or there is a heck of a lot of finance owing on these boats!!!

I got my 1991 311-sr1 for a good price, it needs a bit of TLC but generally a real solid boat with many years left. Trouble is i got to try and afford to run it....Oooops..forgot about that!! :D

Well it is a good feeling Im not alone other people see this to Iguess Im just not one of those lucky ones that has all money Thanks for all the replys Bill

Re: How do you do it ?
 

The only reason that i can afford it is because my Parants bought me a brand new Formula and I can afford to run it because they pay for all the gas, docking, maintenance, etc...


How hated am I now???

Kidding!! I am in debt up to my A** and I spend every free cent I have to run the thing...

But it sure is worth while!

Re: How do you do it ?
 

If I had a choice, I'd pick inheritance. :cool:

Re: How do you do it ?
 

Work..................HARD! :drink: :evilb: ......you will get there.

Re: How do you do it ?
 

No matter what you have someone else will always have more.At 25 you should be living well within your means(spending less than you make) and investing wisely.Real estate is know on a down turn I would look for rental properties that you could get a positive cash flow in a few years plus there is still money to be made in the stock market but I would wait until after November.
I know people that make multiple six figures and are broke
Its not how much you make it's what you do with it.
Buy a cheap boat and invest GOOD LUCK

Re: How do you do it ?
 

Good credit!!!!
I am happy with what I have,I paid cash for mine,I could buy a bigger better boat but then I have payments,nothing against payments but right now I like having mine paid for,I will gain those payments when I pay off my 03 explorer,then I will upgrade boats and have payments,it really helps if you do all your own work and maintainence.
I have alot of toys (and house) so none are very expensive,if I sold eveything and JUST had the boat I could have something bigger.

Crime, ripping people off, mugging the elderly, mugging the middle aged, Heck, mugging everyone, extortion, dodgy deals, you know it makes sense.

The Government has been doing it for years. George W Bush doesnt have an old tuppence ha'penny boat now does he? :D
