I feel this is more of an opinion that would be in the "closed section" and really has no bearing on the discussion at hand. More over I feel it is directed to raise people apprehensions that may take this thead down the wrong path.

How people want to spend there money is totally up to them. Just because they purchase a boat that is outside of what you deem as realistic in todays economy doesn't mean it isn't something someone else can not afford. Also just because there is a limit in NH does not mean there is one up and down the east coast where I personally plan on using mine.
