it is true that the two happinesses in a boat owners life is the day they buy it and the day they sell it!

Boat – A hole in the water that you throw money into.

But is it made of oak?

Break Out Another Thousand

My brother says that the only money pit worse than owning a house is owning a boat.

Strange design…

Since they don’t park it at the marina, it may double-serve as a guest- or dog-house.

That’s not a boat. If it floats on the water but doesn’t have a motor… it’s a raft.

If I lived along one of the coasts, I might want a boat big enough to live in when my regular house is below sea level.

Another name I thought of is Pipe Dream .

Something tells me this is based on a real life experience.

Hi, Bleeb!

Then there is two foot-itest. Condition where a boat owner feels the need for a boat two feet bigger than the one he has.

Bleeb! Buddy! What are you doing inside when your targets are outside? Are you overloaded from yesterday’s near heavenly experiences??

i think he still has to put skis on the bottom

Cabin fever, yikes

I really want a boat, but while I can probably afford to buy one, I can’t afford to keep one. Kind of what happened with my ex, really. Lesson learned.

Boat: a hole in the water you try to fill up with money.

Aptly named. BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand

He’s just the son of a son of a ssilor.

You know what they say owning a boat is like? Standing under a cold shower and tearing up hundred dollar bills! (Thanks for that, “American Dad.”)

On a different note, my Police Chief neighbor just bought one last year and my uncle just bought one a few months ago! I’d be fine with replacing my above ground pool with an inground one.

If they’re behind on the mortgage at least they have a “nautical” home

If only I could condense that into a license plate for my car…

pit-iful.

An old saying. A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.

BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand

He seems pretty proud of his money pit. But it also looks like it’s seen the water.

Well, at least he doesn’t have to worry about the cost fuel and engine maintenance.

The name is right, a boat is a hole in the water, that you pour money into.

He’s saving for a very rainy day……

He ain’t going sailing in that thing. Lookit how he embedded it into the lawn…

I didn’t read it carefully at first and read, “Monkey Pit.” Not a bad name, either.

Boat owners love to talk about the boats they have owned. Very special hobby.
