Are women impressed with men who own a boat?
Can a boat be a chick magnet?
Does a boat indicate that a man is fun to be with, advernturous and interesting?
Does the promise of a boat trip on a lake or up the coast towards Maine arouse romantic ideas in a woman's head?

Have you ever had a boat? Or know someone with a boat?
I have a boat and will tell you it's a shallow move if you are looking for a serious woman/relationship. I never found anyone worth the second date, the good ones were not looking for boaters/party boys.....unless they were partygirls. Call it a wivestale.
Plus it's a money pit!! I've got $6k worth of engine work to do this winter.
A snow ski trip or a rental/timeshare on the beach is cheaper and a better investment.

Boats are a money pit.
A woman who is attracted to your boat is similar to one who would be attracted to your house, your car or money. Shallow.

I love boats. I think the idea of sailing is incredibly romantic. However, the reality for me is very different - like AmericanBeauty, I chuck my guts up. Not so romantic. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Alph.

I think boats are fun!
I love an afternoon out on a lake.
But you would need a partner who likes to do that sort of thing often to make it worth the investment.
What size boat are you considering?
My aunt just got remarried, and her and her new husband live on a boat (part of the year). They really enjoy their lifestyle.

Do you know anything about boating? its not like driving a car... and if you were trying to impress someone and not know what your doing your gonna look like an idiot. But if you really want a boat go with a 58ft Hatteras... now thats a boat...

It's not the boat that's a chic magnet. It's the fat wallet that goes along with it.

Auto, you can be adventurous, fun and interesting without the boat, yes? GoodGuy, can that boat go in my bath tub? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Skip the boat - contact some decent contractors and send me a new heat pump and some exterior house painters, along with an auto mechanic. I have some things around the house that need to be taken care of.
