    I bought an old boat in Amsterdam (3000€), did some reparations (500€), replaced the engine (1500€), paid the local tax (600€ x 3years). I had fun with it. No regrets. Then I was moving back to my country, I couldn’t find a buyer… so I lowered the price to 1500€.

    You were great, old boat. But not a great investment.

      I once asked my dad if he’d ever buy a boat. He asked me why he would want to buy “a hole in the water to throw money into.”

        I heard this 1000 times, together with “the two best moments in the life of a boat owner are the day you buy it, and the day you sell it”
