Love Boat Funny Boating Accidents
I grew up in a fishing town as a son of a Commercial Fisherman.
Although I didn’t take up fishing as a profession, I spent lots of hours in a boat while growing up.
I have owned a few boats in the past. I had a 16 feet Fiberglass boat with an outboard on it for a while and later I had a 25 feet inboard for a while.
How much can you afford to spend on a Boat?
Ownership and maintenance of a vessel can be very expensive. If this is your first purchase or major upgrade from a small boat you will want to ensure your spend is within your financial means. You also need to factor in the costs that you will need to part with each month /year to keep your vessel in excellent condition due to environmental and mechanical wear and tear such as: the corrosive effects of sea water, damages from sunlight, ice and snow, rain and rough sea / lake conditions. Taking excellent care of your vessel will ensure your enjoyment is maximised and will make for reliable sailing. This will also help retain the resale value of your investment, like other yachts for sale that have been well cared for.
Well, I spent the next couple of weeks going over all of the parts of the boat making sure they all were in good shape and making sure everything worked.
I planned a weekend boat trip with my wife, my daughter and my granddaughter. I checked the life jackets. I filled up the tanks with fresh gas and added the two cycle oil correctly.
When we got to the boat ramp, I installed the plugs in all of the drain holes. Most outboards have these drain holes so you can easily clean out the boat hull when the boat is out of the water.
When you are looking at boats, look for a solid, heavy displacement boat, preferably one withThe answer is – of course you can. It all comes down to your expectations. a long keel. They may be slow, but if you’re going cruising, what’s your hurry? My father-in-law once won a race to Fiji in an old boat built of concrete. He didn’t win line honours of course, but won because of the generous handicap he was given for having such an old boat.
While on the subject of concrete boats, you can get a lot of boat for your buck, as they have a stigma attached to them because a lot of the early ones were home built, and the finish was amateurish. However, if you can find a professionally built concret boat, you will get a solid, good sailing boat at a very reasonable price. Of course when you come to sell it, your prospective buyer will also want a good price, but if you got a reasonable deal in the first place, that shouldn’t bother you too much.
Suddenly I realized we were sinking and made a beeline back to the ramp. After I got the boat back out of the water, I saw that there was another drain hole in the bottom near the middle of the boat! It was hard to miss now as the water was pouring out of this hole.
After the water drained out of the boat, I placed the “extra” plug into the drain hole and we left for a fine day on the water.
