A guy I know did just that.

He wanted to go boating, so he bought a brand new 24' Alumanium fishing boat with twin outboards. No head, no real cabin, cost probably close to a hundred thousand dollars.

He goes out of the harbor in the afternoon as the sea breeze is blowing 15 knots or so.

Tromps it...

Hits one or two waves, and goes airborne.

Wife tells him and probably not calmly to turn around.

Boat goes up for sale.

He asked why. I told him that he bought the wrong boat. He bought a "guy" boat.

I told him for that money he should have bought a heavier boat, with a head, and a cabin, and a galley. A boat that could take the sea breeze waves with out scaring his family.

He will probably never have a boat again.
