No problem, I just read it as being a little snippy, and that ran the risk of inviting retaliation. Unfortunately things often go downhill from there. Anyway, all good.....

I remember watching Pawn Stars on TV once and Rick Harrison's golden rule was never buy boats.

It's a sad fact that part of the required performance of being rich is that you have to be seen to engage in an extravagant lifestyle and splash out on boats, or shares in very expensive boats. If you prefer solid ground and can't swim or hate to be constrained in a small space, well you just have to put up with it. Better than getting involved with breeding racehorses, though.

Don't give them ideas. What LTV would you take?

I've renamed the thread with the loan number. The last part of the thread title became redundant after 12 hours - perhaps it could more usefully have contained the date?

I took no offence.
I spent 4 years as Director / sig shareholder of boatbuilder. I grew up in the trade and used to be a yachty. This size of boat sells in the market that includes Europe and N east America. In 2007 they were givenaway, left to rot or "insurance jobs"

I'll be investing once my Ablrate funds clear this week, not a huge amount but it offers diversity from my property loans.

The definition of a boat, of any size, quality or value, is " a hole to throw money in".

A hole in the water? For easy tracking could we insist it be named AblyMacAblrate?
