Re: Who should pay?
 

I see it like this, if your kid broke a cars windshield playing ball, you would pay. Err actually if he is on your property homeowners would pay, but you get my point. You are lucky if he doesn't start acting like he hurt himself, then your umbrella will be paying.

If he pays you happy day... If he doesn't I wouldn't get all sick about it. This is supposed to be fun...If you have to go after him and get your panties wadded over a few bucks it becomes not fun! Pick your poison but I pay for stuff like this just as a part of having fun. Just my two cents :rolleyes:

non-boaters have no idea what our hobby really cost. 2 yrs ago my mom and stepdad where up in mich from florida,he was mixing a drink (bloody mary) on my boat,his glass was too full so he just dumped his extra tomato juice on the floor in my boat!!! We all know how hard it is to keep your cockpit carpet and white interior clean,i asked him how he felt about WALKING back to shore,he couldn't understand what the big deal was!!! Needless to say they DO NOT GET INVITED ON MY BOAT ANYMORE!! Another time i was parked at the dock at a local hooters sitting up on their deck having dinner,some 20 year old punks went walking down the docks near our boat,i saw one of them toss something in boat,by the time i made it thru hooters and down to the dock they were gone,lucikly HIS CIGARETTE he threw in boat was out,some people have no respect for other peoples property. I have two teenage boys,if they ever pulled some bs like this on someone i would kick their a-- right in front of the victim and they know this in advance!!Smitty
