    I’d take the car if there wasn’t a large sum of money included. I’ve owned boats most of my life and believe me they cost a lot of money to keep in a slip and maintain each year. Even a “normal” boat will cost you $5k - $10k a year to maintain. A car you just need a secure covered place to keep it.

    Slips for luxury boats can run several thousand dollars a month to rent. Add in 10% of the price of the boat per year to just keep it floating and in working order.

        I thought it was the second best day in a boat owners life is the day he bought his boat and the best day is the day he sells his boat.

      Yeah, if you consider operating costs and such, I wouldn’t want to insure a fancy car either. I would just abandon either of them and hope there’s no paper trail leading back to me.

      In the spirit of the question, though, I would take the boat. I already have a car and it doesn’t float.
