Yup..........boats take the cake. That being said (flame suit on) I would give up my P car before giving up the boat. We're lucky enough in N. CA to be able to boat on Lake Tahoe (best fresh water boating on the planet?). Boat costs (purchase, maintenance, repair) are good for calibration and make the P car costs seem delightfully reasonable

Usually people that say "the best thing about a boat is selling it" have never actually owned a boat or just don't enjoy boating. You're right, it makes Porsche ownership seem inexpensive in comparison but I too would probably give up the 911 before the boat.

Does the goat come with the Ferrari? He is down to 40k now...

One of the belts in his pic is broken. I hope that's not the reason he replaced them.

Probably cut it accidentally as he was intentionally cutting the frame to access the belt.

I bet that Canadian goat bit it. Or was it the mechanic that was Canadian?

Do the goats eat rubber though? I know rodents do but do goats like to gnaw on that kind of thing? I'm trying to figure this stuff out but I suppose a PPI might reveal?

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Bought a Malibu WakeSetter brand new fully loaded in 2006 - 400 HP Hammerhead engine, full ballast system, power and heated driver's seat, etc - and it's been nothing but awesome. Tune-up, oil change, and waxing every spring, cooling system impeller every other year. It takes 1 weekend each spring to get it ready for the season and half a day every fall to wintereize it and put it back in the garage. In the 8 years I've had it, I replaced one ballast tank pump and one hydrofoill motor, each a 30 minute job. I'm a lake boater though - maybe salt-water boating is a different story.

Great way to get the family and friends together, get some exercise, and I spend fewer hours taking care of it than I do the P-cars - although a lot of the P-car time is due to mods

they're definitely more to service and do regular maintenance on then a p-car, and the new ones are less and less to service.

i.e a 355 requires an engine out service, but a 360 does not - but requires belts -- which a 430 does not (it has a timing chain)...and so on

...but of course the newer ones cost more to buy..

Our Porsche's are great cars -- but a Ferrari is like no other car -- they are amazing I recommend experiencing a Ferrari to any fellow gear head that has the opportunity -- at least once before it's all over
