B O A T = Break Out Another Thousand
I owned a 21 ft. IMP Azstec (SP?) V inboard outboard for several years, it had around 42 inch high. sideboards so it was hard to fall out of while going and not to bad to step into and climb out of at the docks.
The definition I heard about BOATS was" Bust out another Thousand" I heard he same thing about the two best days in a boat and airplane owners life are the day you buy them and the day you sell them
My wife, kids and I had a lot of fun in the boat and the airplane gave us outstanding service. The kids grew up and moved away so we sold the boat and moved out of CA in 2005, the airplane got total in a hail storm here in Bend, OR in April of 2006 while it was tie down at the local airport
Enjoy life while you can
