For Many, boat love is everlasting

For many, boat love is everlasting It has been said that the happiest day in a man's life is the day he buys a boat The second-happiest day is the day he sells it.  It has also been said that a boat is best described as a big hole in the water in which to pour money.  Still, there is no denying the passion boat owners feel for their toys Witness the 450 respondents to a poll conducted by Boating Magazine on its web site. The survey indicated that boat owners are more likely to remember the day they purchased their boat than the day they met their spouse.
89%  said they carry pictures of boats in their wallet,  while just 65% carry pictures of their spouse and children.
56% value their boats over their cars.
50% would rather own a boat than a home.
65% would rather lose their hair than their boat.
60% believe it's a good idea to  have a prenuptial agreement to protect their boats.
Boat owners take more time to name their vessels than their children. 48% took a week or more to come up with a name for their boat, compared to 45% who took that long to name a child.
