Excellent point. Part of the psychology seems to be a willingness to pay a lot to
purchase or outfit a
boat, but a lack of enthusiasm in maintaining a
boat.
I guess when you're
purchasing a boat, you're
buying a dream, but when you own a boat, it's more of an ongoing reality. There are lots of boats at
marinas that don't even get too many visits.
