Your boat cost vs...
the cost of your home... or what your home is valued at.
In a thread in one of the owners forums we are discussing new boat pricing.
One board member noted, "I can almost garuantee that most of the clientelle are successful middle and upper middle class".
I kind of find that hard to believe.
So I'd like to get an idea of what the cost of your NEW boat was compared to what your house is valued at. I'd like to only see what NEW boat owners paid, sorry used boat buyers...
Actually i'll see if I can split up the poll, new used.

sorry it took me so long to do the poll mike.
Figure against what your house is worth now... since you can borrow against it.
I could be dead wrong, but I just dont see middle to upper middle class guys w/ families, bringing home 100k a year, buying $200,000 boats.

Well, my wife and I live fairly comfortable. The house was worth about twice what the boat cost new at the time we purchased the boat.
We could do more, but then we might have to cut back on all of the other things we enjoy doing.

Are you considering each person only has one home, or combination of them all?
