2. How much is the ongoing cost of such a boat? Plano please confirm

Take what you think is the most it could cost...multiply times 3.

Seriously, I can't believe that people still buy these fucking things.

My friend asked his dad (who owns a few boats) how much some of those things were and his dad simply said "if you have to ask then you can't afford them in the first place".

still feeling good about my canoe investment.

1. Wrigley
2. Maybe. The question is the textbook definition of "White Elephant". I can't imagine the sale price of a $500k boat being much under $250k 10 years later. Also, I can't imagine the costs being >$25k per year (maybe I'm wrong, having never owned a boat). In this scenario I'm essentially breaking even, not counting the cost-of-money.
3. Teeth. They are both crooked and cramped.
4. "Recently" is restrictive as I haven't had a sit-down restaurant meal in nearly four months. However, having two young-20-something girls at home during the sheltering has given me the opportunity to enjoy some fantastic meals. A week or so ago daughter2 made enchiladas, rice and a spinach-bean sautee all from scratch. Better than many restaurant meals
5. Kind of amusing

To Plano's point, a friend described owning an RV thusly: Best two days in the life of an RV owner are the day he bought it and the day he sold it. I presume that applies to the boat as well. Although a few friends own sailboats and they enjoy it immensely, and so have I when I have had the pleasure of visiting them. One guy used to live on it several days a week as it was docked closer to work than his house (he showered at work)

B.O.A.T = Break Off Another Thousand

If i take the boat I'm shipping it to planos showroom where I will pay him commission to offload the thing. If all goes well I might have enough left after to take a busride that gutters always talking about to gutters apt for motzoh balls and challah

Chicago. Lincoln Park. For a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant it's pretty pretty pretty good.
We had a great waitress last night too.

I laughed.
It's been free to ride the bus in Chicago and I think come Monday they start charging again.
I'm not a Matzah (spell it however you please) ball guy but I love me some challah.
My apartment lacks atmosphere but if you ever come to Chicago I'll happily take you somewhere decent to get you some soup and bread.

LOL The vagaries of the English language. I’m sure you have encountered papers with phrasing similar to “elephants were observed using binoculars”.
