“Boats are a great investment for a family because it’s a way to
socialize and spend time together,” says Ellen Hopkins, a spokes*woman
for Discover Boating. “A lot of my friends who grew up boating said
that one of their best memories was going out with their dads on
Sundays and fishing — it’s a unique way to bond. It’s like a
minivacation, even just being on a kayak on the water.”
Yeah, beats driving 120 miles to 6 flags and paying $50 bucks each to
get in then end up standing on hot asphalt waiting an hr to ride some
whirlie-gig and eat $5.00 hotdogs....
The cheapest way to own a boat is to use it a lot. Then your per hour
cost drops to a very low number.
So does the marginal cost per pound of the fish you catch.
Who cares?
Bad day fishing beats a good day at work.
Hearing the loons at sunset priceless peace and nature.
