    The hole may be lined with a variety of materials - wood, GRP, steel, ferrocement - but it has three principle dimensions - length, breadth, and debt!

    I own altogether too many boats nevertheless, but there are snapper and scallops in the channel, and kingies round the buoys.

    I once saw a brass plaque on an old wooden launch with the inscription...wish I'd taken more notice at the time but it read "A boat is a hole in the water into which the owner tips all their spare money" I can confirm from first hand experience this is an outright lie. You will also tip a VAST amount of money in that isn't spare lol

    Depends what type of boat it is. My 6m aluminium Surtees boat with a Yamaha 2 stroke on the back has cost me very little, pretty much bomb proof. I guess it's a different story when you've got a 20 metre gin palace parked up at the Viaduct eh Beagle lol.

    $50k sitting on the trailer, service yearly at $2-300., depreciation. Anchor warp is getting old and the trailer needs new bearings, Bloody sounder on the blink and I need a new GPS anyway. Oh and the flare package has expired, and while I'm in Burnsco, I'll just have a look at the new knife jigs!
    But I digress!

    Ha ha I just bought a new fish finder/chartplotter Lowrance HDS-7 Gen3. It's absolutely superb especially the free Navionics charts. The fish haven't got a chance.

    Back in the day before I went OTT I had a Stabicraft 759 and with hindsight it was a really awesome sea boat. Ugly as sin but stable as anything and that's what counts ! I have my eye on one of these one day...they look like they can handle themselves pretty well...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXpgvfwlHco No matter how rich we think we are going to get in the long run with OCA there's one indisputable fact that should never be forgotten...you can't take your money with you when your time is up so you might as well enjoy some of it before you get too old !

    Hmm I appear to have been bitten by the top up bug and OCA is now my largest holding... I must confess to feeling a tad anxious about this when a Bear with sharp claws, no relative of mine, may be on its way if not already here and some are saying cash is king...
