New boats $$$$$$$$$$

#5.......see them at boat launches all the time. After the 4th or 5th attempt they get our of their under powered car (Honda Civic or Hyundai) and look at the boat like it did them a dirty ;)
Been like that since I remember, nothing has changed 😳

If we are putting our boat in and they are in front of us we help them to get the line moving. If we are out and putting our stuff away it is nice entertainment after a nice day fishing.

Ya, bout the same price as a new boat . I'd take the 4 wheel vett first, definitely get more chick's than the boat 🚢 😉
 
When the Amphicar came out in the 1960s it was cheaper to buy VW that was better on land and a tinnie that was better on water. $4000 IIRC. The VW / boat combo left a few hundred in your pocket.
 
When I briefly lived as a kid in LongBranch a guy down the street had an Amphicar , he would show up at MarieCurtis park and blast down the launch ramp into the lake , completely freaked out the tourists . I thought it was the coolest thing I’d seen , maybe better than the bat mobile . Was a crap car and a worse boat , but still cool .

Marie Curtis Park was a good day's entertainment watching the novices. Haven't been there for a while.

One day a "Thurston Howell" type showed up to launch his trailer yacht, removing his socks, shoes and rolling up his his white yachting pants a few inches so he could help launch by standing on the gabion basket shelf the formed part of the bank.

Unfortunately the water level was such that there was nothing to stand on and he dropped in up to his neck. He never lost his cool stating, as he treaded water, "OK I've got the stern."
