If you were given a choice between a fancy boat or a fancy car, which would you pick? You can't sell either.

Camerawn, You now what "boat" stands for, right Hank? Stands for "Fix it again, Tony".
NoIWontPickaName, I love you
Camerawn, And I love you, random citizen!
Lilkev, You're thinking of a Fiat, Dale
metaStatic, Fucking Idiots Assembled This?
vyvanse, Lol I feel that. You don’t want a boat, you want a friend with a boat
Verity_kindle, I would much rather go broke trying to maintain a boat, I could sail around in style until it sank under me, Jack Sparrow-style. Cars just run out of gas or oil or coolant or whatever- no style there.
TaygetaDuck, Plus imagine the cool stories you can tell your friends about that one time an Orca took out your amazing sail boat.
spicy_biscuits, Oh like if I had to choose one or the other of course I'm picking boat. Style points, way more fun, going out on the water, hell yeah
beefcat, Fancy car, it's not even close.
Simply storing and maintaining a whole boat is way more of a logistical nightmare than I ever want to deal with for a supposed "leisure" activity. And that's before we get into the cost.
CharlesReed, If it's a given that I have enough money to afford maintenance and insurance, I'd go with fancy car. At first I thought I'd go with the boat, since I live near a couple of busy bodies of water, but I'm not sure I'd want to go through the hassle of setting up a business with just one boat.
NotABearJustAHuman, I'd like an old school pirate ship
FIST_FILLET, chilling on a boat in the middle of the ocean sounds pretty cozy to me, you can't get that same peace and quiet on a road
Gamers_Mate, Yeah you might get in trouble chilling on a boat in the middle of the road.
Nougat, Not as much trouble as you'd get in chilling in a car in the middle of the ocean.
HubertManne, can the boat be a houseboat and conversley can the car be an RV?
DontMakeMoreBabies, Oh shit good question. Tricked out RV wins the day for me if that's an option.
Saturdaycat, You can modify them however you like with your own funds!
And Yep fancy RV and fancy houseboat counts
livus, Okay and can we let people rent/charter them in exchange for money?
HubertManne, ok I will take car then which in my case would be a decked out 4 wheel drive sportsmobile. Im tempted to choose a super yacht but even for free I likely could not afford to upkeep it. You would need to pay a crew. Anything small enough boat wise to afford and I would rather have the sportsmobile.
Saturdaycat, Yep fancy RV and fancy houseboat counts
norbert, This is important; if I live on the houseboat then that seems like an obvious answer but if I can't, I'll get far more use out of a car. A boat is just a logistics problem unless it's where I live.
VoxAdActa, On the other hand, it seems like it would be much easier, when necessary, to hook an RV up to electrical, water, and sewer services, as compared to a houseboat. I guess you could have a deionized water pump, but those are super slow, like on the order of a tablespoon an hour slow. And, anyway, I suspect it's not kosher to just poop off the railing.
Pseu, I figure that there are maintenance and utility hookups for boats, just like there are for RVs. After all, plenty of boats cannot be reasonably removed from the water.
digitalgadget, A friend of mine lived on his boat with his girlfriend and their cat. Moored in Seattle. Cost him a third of my rent for moorage + showers + wifi + hookups.
metaStatic, Car for sure. Can't sell it but sure as fuck can insure it ... and ain't no one stealing a boat
Hyperreality, 100% the car.
You can get a fancy and expensive car that is still relatively reliable and affordable to maintain. You can park the fanciest car in a relatively affordable parking space. At which point you can always rent it out for weddings or events, drive it yourself, earn a little extra.
A fancy boat is in an entirely different league when it comes to maintenance and mooring costs. Especially if it's on salt water.
Worst case scenario: the car rots in a garage.
Worst case scenario: the boats bankrupts you.
ChrisFhey, Car. No question. I live nowhere near any body of water large enough for a boat, and I get seasick like something else.
LollerCorleone, If I can't sell it, a boat serves me no real purpose. And I don't currently own a car of my own and only have a bike. So I will get a car.
dill, Honestly probably the car
Arotrios, If it's a houseboat, then the boat. Otherwise I'll get more use out of the car.
Saturdaycat, Yes it can be a house boat :)
Gamers_Mate, I would choose the boat then I could turn it into a floating garden.
hugz, Car. Lower maintenance. I can more easily store it too
AnonymousLlama, See with a boat that's fancy, it's probably going to be huge like one of those superliners the rich oligarchs have. Where if you have an expensive chair, it's still going to be fundamentally a chair, so then if it's more comfortable it's still pretty small.
