along what mel is saying--we see these posts here from a novice who wants to buy his first boat, big enough to take his whole extended family of 12, so everyone can lay out flat, tube, spit, ski and fish all at the same time, store it next to the house under the trees, he's saved up a whole $3000 and found that 20 year old sofaboat that "all it needs is..."
First problem and the family abandons him. second problem and wifey won't let him spend the $4000 for the transom stringers, LU or motor. So there it sits.
the other situation is the overbearing *** of a father who thinks if he buys a boat, his children and wife, children in law and grandchildren, will want to hang out with him, and as soon as he starts bossing them all around, he's solo again. So there it sits. next to the pool.
