I like boats.
I like to tinker.
I love getting bitch-slapped by a project.
Why don't I have one of these?

Get a skinny girlfriend with an irritating Yankee accent, talk like Bogart, and play "African Queen" on your local waterway.
Skip the leeches. -

Come over to St Michaels some time for the boat fest. You'll see a number of them.
They are a lot of fun, for about 10 minutes. Longer if owned by someone else.

St. Michaels in the Chesapeake?
Mrs. 914 and I visited with a Sabre 38 one summer, nice place.

BOATS!? If you thought cars were a money hole, they're merely a minor money pinhole compared to the ravenous money sarlacc pit that boats are! Only aircraft can devour money faster!

The cool thing about steamers are that if they are improperly maintained they make neat noises. Like KA-BOOM. There are reasons why steam boilers have governing bodies, codes, yearly inspections, specific engineers, specific qualified personal to work on them, and higher insurances for buildings that have them inside. I'm not saying it wouldn't be "cool" to have a steamer boat, because it would; but just know what you're doing or at least the owner.

Too much drag on the hull.
Better off with a long length of chain, cement block and really deep water - far, far off-shore.

Probably the same reason I don't have one. They are like a trophy wife, beautiful, expensive and high maintenance.
I would love to have one.

As a friend of mine (who's a pilot) once said, "If it floats, flies or berkeleys... rent it."
