I’m not sure yet about my answer
I don’t have the money to maintain either
Lol I feel that. You don’t want a boat, you want a friend with a boat
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.
Plus imagine the cool stories you can tell your friends about that one time an Orca took out your amazing sail boat.

ThousandYou now what “boat” stands for, right Hank? Stands for “Fix it again, Tony”.
You’re thinking of a Fiat, Dale
Fucking Idiots Assembled This?

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.
can the boat be a houseboat and conversley can the car be an RV?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh shit good question. Tricked out RV wins the day for me if that’s an option.
You can modify them however you like with your own funds!
And Yep fancy RV and fancy houseboat counts
Okay and can we let people rent/charter them in exchange for money?
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.
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.
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.
a fancy cat
Car for sure. Can’t sell it but sure as fuck can insure it … and ain’t no one stealing a boat
Can a fancy car include a super nice, kitted-out campervan?
I’ll put it in my backyard and rent it out. Probably get $600/mo for it in my city.
Fancy car.
I’d give it away in a heartbeat though.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
Yeah you might get in trouble chilling on a boat in the middle of the road.
Not as much trouble as you’d get in chilling in a car in the middle of the ocean.

If it’s a houseboat, then the boat. Otherwise I’ll get more use out of the car.
Depends on the definition of “fancy.” Boats get way more fancy than cars.
I.have no interest in either. I drove my 24 year old truck to work today and that was good enough. (Going to the office is a rare thing, I normally work from home). The truck also serves truck things no car can do, and by truck things I mean the types of things that damage trucks and thus I wouldn’t want a fancy truck.
My idea is of a boat is q canoe, and i’d like my next one to be one I.build myself, so again no interest. If I want something more in a boat i’ll rent and let someone else worry about it when i’m done.
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.
