The real money might be in storage or harboring fees. People with boats, man. They'll pay stupid money for some ol' boat. Sheesh!
Smug, too. "Ooh, lookit me. I did something with my life and am in a position to own a boat because my house, which is on the water, has a boat dock! Nothing about this precludes me from having a blown-out car or jacked up truck. I just don't, because I'm not a douche."
If a boat does that in San Diego it is either full of drugs or surrounded by footprints of the human cargo running in all directions. Have you checked it for either?
