Don, it's nice to know that you work around boats! When I was young (16 - 19) I worked for a boat yard in Maryland. Sometimes it was a hard way to make a living but it had it's good times as well. I used to scrape bottoms, paint hulls, repair transoms and usually got stuck re-finishing sail boat masts from a swinging bosum's chair 50 feet above a deck. Despite everything, sometimes I think they were some of the best years of my life. It was an experience of a lifetime.

As a result of my working at the boatyard, I also spent a year working as the pilot on a yacht (65 ft custom built Chriscraft) owned by a local DuPont family. They liked me well enough that one Fall they gave me the opportunity of going with the family from their home in Maryland to their home in Florida via the east coast inland passage. What an adventure!

Boats are like Ferrari's, if you can't afford to maintain them, you probably shouldn't own one. No one should expect that the maintenance cost of a $400,000 Ferrari to be the same as the upkeep cost of a Chevy.
