No, it's actually the other way around, I leave my wife to go to my mistress, err..ahhhh...boat. Hmmm, I wonder what she's doing while I'm on Calypso.

I'm starting to go through boat withdrawal and she's not even going to be hauled for another week!

I cannot imagine hating a boat, even if it is a power boat, they are all an object of beauty, just like female humans. One of my favourite pastimes while at various marinas is to walk the docks and eyeball each and every one of them. I try to find some characteristic that appeals to me then admire that characteristic. Every boat has something about it to be admired, you just have to look for it. The only thing I don't like about boats is that I cannot afford to own more than one. I truly deserve to have a harem of them, perhaps a dozen or so, to bestow my affections on. They are one of the most beautiful creations of mankind bar none. Just my humble opinion.

I see your point CaptKermie but could I convince you to hate at least one power boat? maybe one of the boats in the movie Water World. Everyone hated the smoker boats thats why we loved seeing them blow up.

Smack, you need to save yer pennies & take a Big Sailing Vacation somewhere. It'll do your heart some good.

I hate that I don't yet have a boat. Right now, I crew for OPB (Other People's Boats). It's a good way to learn about maintenance & other things, & hopefully I'll figure out what I do & do not want in a boat, should that day come that I get one of my own.

Hating or loving your boat is not the point unless it cannot take you places you want to go. It is a machine and if it is inadequate for what you want then hate or disappointment follows. Regardless of the quirks or deficiencies of the boat if it can take you to glorious places then you love the boat.

The one's that say this will not be hanging out here.
What happens though, is certain individuals will purchase a boat with out having any prior experience or education. They get in way over their heads and don't know how to get out. They bought the wrong boat for their intentions or their cruising grounds, or they purchase a boat that is not the right boat for what they want to do with it. So, it's the boats fault and the boat sucks. Wrong, generally its the lack of preparation and pre purchase research and education that sucks.

Stillraining, I have to go to the emergency room. When I saw that picture my lunch came up through my nose & part of it is still stuck.

What were you looking for when you found that?
