Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3972793, member: 62"] I grew up with a small sailboat and now own an older power boat (with newer engines). Sailing is great, but you need to have a crazy amount of patience if you're sailing to get somewhere and don't have any wind. Even with a sailboat, if it's one big enough to take on the trips you're describing the maintenance costs will be up there (inboard engine, rigging, head etc). Power boats are ridiculously expensive to operate and maintain, and you need to be willing to accept that and also accept that you won't get to use the thing as often as you want to. But for me, there's enormous appeal to the concept of the mobile beach home. One weekend, you have a place on Block Island. The next weekend, you are in Montauk, or the Vineyard, or Jamestown.
