I'm rethinking the question "Is boating for the rich?" on my second visit to the thread.
Maybe it is.

I goes it depends on your perspective. There are some parts of the world where only the "rich" have dugout canoes.

Many people I know wouldn't be able to afford the boat I have. Not the initial purchase price, marina fees, repair bills. Even a tank of fuel may take a substantial percentage of their discretionary spending for many who are struggling with a mortgage, a low paying job, and a young family.

Maybe not for the rich, but for the "comfortable".
