This discussion has made my day , Boat efficiency , LMAO , Noting efficient about boat ownership. Count the number of times used vs the yearly cost and you will not buy a boat at all. The cost of Fun and Relaxation is not measurable .

The metric I like to use is the usefulness of the activity is inversely proportional to the amount of enjoyment derived from it.
