Don't get me wrong, I am not a trust fund baby.

I got a brand new more-than-entry-level car at 15 1/2 years old. My parents fronted it, and told me to get a job to start paying it off. Worked as a bag boy at a supermarket, and paid it off in 4 years. Made me fell real good, alot of satisfaction, and that taught me some fundamentals for my own success.
One thing to help your kid start a business if you got the $, or to send him to school, but to hand a 15 year old toy like that, it doesn't do any good for anybody.
Again, JMHO

Once they are done with the boat in the Bahamas for a few months it should be coming back to south FL.
You have to start boating somewhere... why not start with the right boat.

That is one georgeous boat, I REALLY LIKE THE PAINT JOB AND INTERIOR. As to the individule that owns the boat, 15, I dont pass judgement, it is none of my business. As a father with children at that age, lets just say we do it differently in our house hold, each to his own. Congrats on the boat, it's a beauty.

how do you know this kid is not working hard for the boat he may not be working to pay for it, or even pay the cleaning bill but he could be very well working hard to appreciate it
