Unlike the hoped for dollar expansion of "playing with capital"... where much could be lost or gained. Not to mention the potential for $$$ increase of selling the boat for more than you paid for it.

And, on top of all that, as long as an affordable to maintain and use boat was purchased... During time of ownership... you have next to no costs above dock space and fuel to super enjoy your floating "beach house" / "swim platform" / fishing machine" / "family and friend enjoyment toy" / and, last but not least... Love Vessel!



That's the way I read the cards!!

None of this is 'potential" when it's in your rear view mirror - always worked for us whether or not we paid 'cash'.
