Where are you going with this?
The boat is a 01 382 Formula purchased from the OSO classifieds. It is nowhere near the cost of a 50' Nortech, but in my position now, it is enough to justify what I am talking about doing.

BUT - I would recommend a couple of other options.
1) If you are entertaining a client on a boat ride I don't see anything wrong with deducting as entertainment the cost of gas, booze, but not the whole boat.
2) If you are in a poker run and you promote your business as a sponsor in the poker run, then I don't see anything wrong with deducting all the expenses of the poker run. Maybe even slap on a vinyl banner of your business. That would be more like advertising or business promotion rather than entertainment, of which 50% is disallowed.
3) If your OSO Steve - then you've got it made and katy bar the door for all business/boating assets and expenses.

And, BTW, Steve pretty well does have it by the short hairs on a downhill pull, doesn't he?
When I grow up I want to be Steve!!

putting a boat on the books of any company (not boating related) is a red flag with the IRS plain and simple.
Eventhough it might be legit, it sets off the flags.
