5,000 yachts!! Then I would try and sell 4,999 of them

u/KatzDeli 5d ago

As a former boat owner, trust me, sell all 5000.

Is it true the happiest days of a boat owners life are the day he buys and the day he sells it?

As they say, "You know what BOAT stands for? Break Out Another Thousand."

u/Competitive_March753 5d ago

So, don't pull your boat with a Jeep (just empty every pocket) 🤣

u/XVIIIOrion 5d ago

Or a Fiat (Fix it again, Tony!)

u/wilsonhammer 5d ago

I think you mean Ford

u/Twl1 5d ago edited 5d ago

Well, that one could either be "Fix Or Repair Daily" or "Found On Road, Dead", so you might save money if you just walk away altogether.

Fiat: Feeble Attempt at Italian Transportation

u/Sleepingguitarman 5d ago

Ahh yes, Faait

u/KnittingKitty 5d ago

Sorry, Feeble Italian Attempt at Transportation. The "at" doesn't count in the letters for Fiat.

u/Competitive_March753 5d ago

I've never seen a fiat that could pull a boat! 🤣🤣🤣

u/TheOnlyCraz 5d ago

I saw a Cadillac pulling a bobcat once but that's a little less impressive

This must be old news, but they make colour coded oil for Jeeps to match Youre driveway paving?

u/sissynikki8787 5d ago

Just exchange every part

u/muntell7 5d ago

Are jeeps really that bad??? It’s it a reliability issue, or just spending a lot on customization/upgrades?

9

u/seventwosixnine 5d ago

Yes.

Jeeps are like Harleys. Their owners will swear up and down that they're reliable, but they've replaced just about every part.

2

u/muntell7 5d ago

I understand that hahaha. I was just curious if they were unreliable from the factory. I’ve heard several ppl say Jeeps were money pits. Just wasn’t sure if it was self inflicted or not

2

u/Competitive_March753 5d ago

I don't know, I don't own one, but from what I've heard, it can be both

2

u/TheMillenniaIFalcon 5d ago

Yes, since like 2014, I think it was private equity, but their quality absolutely plummeted they are absolute shit boxes with terrible reliability now.

Boat: a hole in the water into which one pours money

Buoyancy Operated Aquatic Transport

u/TohruH3 5d ago

I thought the O stood for operated... I'm hearing it in his voice, but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly?

In any case, I came here for this reference. So, thank you!

u/f0gax 5d ago

It is operatored. Thanks.

u/lurkslikeamuthafucka 5d ago

Nowadays it is Bust Out Another Ten thousand. You go right past a thousand for absolutely anything.

3

u/thpop 5d ago

My buddy who has a boat says that with inflation it's now ten thousand. Seeing how much he sinks into it I wouldn't be too surprised.

Yet Another Costly Hobby, Talkin Thousands

I liked it but that spells YACHTT

u/Beautiful_Most2325 5d ago

100% true. My ex husband & I had a 26 ft pontoon. I got the boat in the divorce & I had to sell it (no money to store & no way to pull it to the lake). It was a great day when the judge ordered him to turn the boat over to me 😁

u/TotoCocoAndBeaks 5d ago

I feel like this joke isn't inflation compatible

u/Gief_Cookies 5d ago

Best of all time! 🤪

u/oceantraveller11 5d ago

I vividly remember sitting at the fuel dock, watching the gauge climb towards 100 gallons of fuel. You just hand the guy a fistful of 100's.

The two happiest days of owning a boat: the day you buy; and the day you sell.
