This looks like a blast.  As someone who’s always wanted a cheap boat, I like it.

things I know about boats:

- a “cheap” boat never is

- “free boat” is often not a good deal

My dad is a man of many sayings, but one of his all-time favorites had to be about boats.  He said they are a hole in the water that you pour money into.

I’ve fantasized about the boat version of my truck:

One of these with a slant 6 in it, just puttering along the Nova Scotian coast? Paradise.

Alas, I am a suburban Vancouverite. - Hell.

I can’t wait to watch it.

I know enough about boats to know I don’t want anything to do with boat ownership though.

It's always better when it's somebody else's boat...

Next they do a cheap plane challenge. All three crash and die.

Yes! Having a friend with a boat is clutch!

Same thing with campers ... remembers he recently bought his third cheap camper in 5 years ... wait a damn minute ....

All I have is a canoe and even that boat is expensive and a pain in the ass.

If you can turn a wrench it’s not bad. Unless of course your boat is a POS, then it is bad. Really bad.

There is no such thing as a cheap boat. There are expensive boats and boat shaped things that are lawn ornaments. Anyone selling anything else is lying.
