What are some advantages and disadvantages of a boat?

The advantages are:

being able to go fishing water skiing, or just joy riding whenever you want.

The disadvantages are:

depending on where you live, a boat is only usable in warm weather, which is limited in most places.

Do you have the money to pay to store a boat somewhere? If not do you have a vehicle large enough to tow the boat you want to a place you can store it, you must pay to store it at the water.

Do you have enough money to buy, keep fuel in (boat fuel is more expensive), Store, Insure, license (most states you have to buy boat tags, just like license plates for cars).

Keeping a boat clean is worse than a car because most boats are not totally enclosed. Who wants to spend time in a dirty boat.

It is often said that a boat owners two happiest days are the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat. I assume because he no longer have the cost of it.
