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.

Yes but I don't measure fish caught "by the pound" although it might
be an interesting number. I've finally gotten my cost "per fish"
down close to the 4 digit range.


Usually I don't either. But, the first fish I caught with the $25K Proline was an expensive bugger.
It probably weighed about ten pounds, which made it much more costly than Safeway was getting for
rockfish. Four digits sounds about right - if I count croaker too.
