None of my business, of course, but did you end up getting the boat?

No, thankfully, in hindsight. There's a lot of truth in the boat owner sayings:

"The two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day he buys it and the day he manages to sell it".
"A boat is a hole in the water into which you shovel money"
"If you want to know what it's like owning a sailboat, go and stand in a cold shower and rip up $100 bills"

So crisis averted

On one of our trips to my beloved Tasmania one year, we actually spent an hour or so looking at boats for sale at Constitution Dock, Hobart.

At one point my wife said, "We can afford that one"

I told her not to even think about it, and retired to the Irish pub across the dock.

Anyway, thread hijack. Back to American basement layouts!

when the commentator mentioned there were over 12,000 pieces of rolling stock my jaw hit the floor. I then told SWMBO i would never think i have too much rolling stock again.
