House vs Boat, what cost more??
 

I thought i was the only one who spent $140k on my boat and $125k on my house...What do you pay more for?? I am still traveling and found out today that a young(26) year old guy that works for us has a 1998 35' Fountain, and live in a nice Double-wide....Has a super nice wife to boot too:D :p

What did you all pay more for?? I think I know the responses I will get....:cool: :D ;)

all screwed up.............
 

I am totally whacked out of my mind - I live in a 100 grand condo -1 bedroom and the Top Gun is 350 grand. Not counting a 84 Mastercraft - 87 Barefoot Nautique - 2001 28 Joker - and a few Sea Doos - get your priorities straight - BH

House, buck and a quarter
2 APACHE's
1 SeaRay
1 Bassboat
About five times the value of the house.

LOL!
that's what powerboating is about!

Hell right now I am living home with my parents :D:D

Heck, just the dock+rip-rap+ etaining wall cost more than the boat. Don't even want to think about the house, new kitchen, ....

I guess my priorities are WAY THE F%$# Off!
 

Primary Residence $250,000
Lake House $1,600,000
Formula $60,000
24 Skater $40,000
Chevy 1/2 Ton Silverado $32,000
Yamaha Waverunner 1400 4-Stroke $8,000
2 Yamaha Snowmobiles $15,000

No debt except on primary residence (for tax write offs)...

PRICELESS!:)

$250K+ for boat, dually to pull boat, camp on Port Bay (Lake Ontario) to keep the boat on the water.
$55K for Double wide with barn for working on boats and a garage I built to store the boat inside!

Shane, $1.6M for the house on the lake, you need to spend at least $3.2M on a boat! If you want help shopping, I'll be happy to help!!!!:eek: :D

Keep it comming guys I can print this out and use it as leverage on the wife :D :D

I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks this way. Well I dont own a home yet, I live w/my parents and they are not even here 6 mos. out of the year. Put it this way I aint saving for a house, but for a bigger boat;)
I spend more time on the boat in the summer than I do at home, and In the winter my folks are gone and are happy just to have someone watch their house:cool:
What would you do???:D

Most of the lake house's value is from EXTREME APPRECIATION! Total investment in the house is about $400,000 to $500,000 or so. The remainder has been all through appreciation. The rate that homes on Lake George have climbed and are still climbing is absolutely MIND NUMBING! I am fortunate enough to have been the recipient of the house as it was built for me by my parents. :)

Priorities change with the seasons...
 

Winter its a house the rest of the year it a boat!



Present residence paid for 16x80 cost $32,000
Truck 2001 cost $48,000
car 2002 Vette cost $49,000
Boat 30 scarab over $50,000 invested

In the market for a New house or Top Gun which ever comes first!

Boat 35K

Car 35K
House 3K

Summer Home $350.

Hmmm I am the reverse here...

House 185K
Boat 50K (PowerQuest)
Boat 24K (mastercraft)
Truck 38K
Bike 6K

House??
 

No house here..
I rent the apartment/condo.
I have the boat, but the bank owns more of it than I do...
Got the nice crew dually.
Have a bunch of tools, etc. in the garage..

You think you own your house??? You pay more in taxes than I pay in rent! Shane does for sure. How much tax on a 1.6M house??? Damn.

ChrisK,

A little off the subject, (sorry) but you used to live in NY and were part of the Bud light Ski team at Jumpin Jacks right? I see you still have a ski boat. Do you still do alot of skiing and are you with any teams down there. I must have met you with the Bud light team here in NY. I was friends with the Hennels and Gene and his son.

$110,00 Duplex (We live in half, rent out the other)
$26,000 wife's car
$10,000 my truck's! That's two for a total of $10,000!!!
$45,000 Boat - That own half of!!
$35,000 Building to put boat in that I own half of!!
$10,000 Other Boat project's like pontoon's, flat bottom, 22ft velocity, 69 Cady Convt., couple of Hunting Suburban's, 1937 International flat bed, etc.........

Looking for another duplex!!

The hennels where my next door neighbors... If you have EVER been to their house then you know where I lived. On mary lane in rotterdam. As for the skiing down here... We thought the same thing.. well it is not the case... There is only like 2 teams that we have found. One in Tampa, one in Orlando... and the orlando team sucks compared to my old one. We have not skiied in a few years, that is why I am selling the mastercraft. I also know Gene, and gino... My borother works for gene down here. My mother and brother live over on the west coast right near gene.

House cost WAY more than my boat. 'Course my boat was only $40K...:o

I'm not allowed to have my priorities outta whack. I'm married with children. :eek: :p :D :eek:

For the betterment of the this thread I will erase all of my posts except for the original. Will you do the same ET? May I call you at work now so we may finally put this to bed? I still have your number.

Wanna talk and maybe be friends again?:)

Shane,

You're obviously a man of integrity. How could anyone refuse. :)

The way I see it, the question should be what is your boat worth compared to what your House is worth?;)

Thanks Sean. I appreciate the thought.:)

For you guys with boats more expensive than residence, how long till you think they will pass each other going in opposite directions ?

PS. House $200K
Boat $20K

I envy you guys living in areas where you can find a hut for under $200K !

TomR, Are you speaking in terms of sentimental value or dollar value?:p

Me too. My kitchen remodel this year cost more than my boat - and I did all the damn work. :mad:

Re: House??
 

Got the same setup. Girlfriend has the 170grand house so why do I need one. More money for a new boat.

House?? What house?

Now I see how you guys do it !!

House: $130,000
Boat:$45,000
Truck:$30,000
2 Snowmobiles: paid for.

Shane you are my hero !!!
