Davemmm Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Some people make obscene amounts of money doing very little, some have obscene levels of debt and some of us are just happy with our lot in life. If I had the coin and could justify a $500k boat I would still have to have a 14 footer to fish the flats and little channels. Then I would just worry that I had spent $500k on a big boat but was spending all my time in a little 14ft catching whiting and bream. Its lucky I dont have that much money or I might end up very stressed over things like that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamtime Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's called creative accounting I think Or having a friendly bank manager helps too! Seriously, few of these lavishly appointed super cruisers are owned by an individual. You will find that most are owned by corporations, co-operatives or conglomerates, a bit of a tax right off possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donjuarez Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Similar to the point above ... Lets not leave boat share arrangements out of the equation... A lazy $15K can get you onto a $100K boat quite easily.. Edited June 2, 2008 by throw me a fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
