Re: Earth outside its safe operating space..

If you could name the top 10 unnecessary uses of planet resources, I'm guessing sailing and sailboats would fall in there somewhere.

Re: 10 Year Plan for Retirement

I would check to see how well funded your pension is and not make plans around having every dime of it in retirement. Many states are completely in the red on their funding and there are probably no...

Re: Tell Me About the Keys

Can you rent a truck or trailer and haul the mast and your loose interior stuff to the Carolinas on your own? Kill two birds with one stone.

Borrowing from Life Insurance for purchase

Views: 5,615

Posted By flyingw

Re: Borrowing from Life Insurance for purchase

However, boats in general have gone up 10/20/30% or more in the past few years. So borrowing at even 6% or 8% to buy would have been actually cheaper.

Every year is different and everybody's...

Re: Need suggestions for mini spray gun and compressor for touch-ups

You could buy a cheap airless sprayer at the big-box. Probably a one-and-done unless you clean it really well. Otherwise I use a Fuji HVLP sprayer for shooting catalyzed lacquer. They're $600 or...

Re: Advice on Exumas Itinerary

I'm basically a lurker/dreamer but on the Josh Post vlog he and his girlfriend took a sightseeing boat and were able to hit the pigs, grotto etc in one day. Might be more fun than slogging there and...

Sell my house for a Swan 48?

Re: Sell my house for a Swan 48?

I would not automatically assume that a house is an appreciating asset. For some parts of the country that has been fairly true for the past 50 years straight. Sellers have been able to recoup all of...

Re: boat discount if i can pay some of the sum by cash by hand

It does not really affect the buyer, the seller is the one "probably" trying to avoid cap gains or possibly (in the US model) recaptured depreciation which is at ordinary rates. If you are presented...
