We've had boats. My favorite was the pontoon boat. I'd love to have a houseboat, though.

Since my dream would be to live in a cabin by a lake I would like a row boat so I could fish the day away.

We are surrounded by rivers here and seas in Spain so we have marinas all around us... these cabin cruisers moored near us are the ones I like a lot... large enough to be comfortable on the narrow rivers, but small enough to get through all the locks..

oh yes we like ours better than the Cabin cruisers..lol... but I would still like a CR because you get where you're going a little faster... our narrowboat goes only 4 mph... even on open rivers... flat out it's only 6 knots.. great for cruising but not if you want to get anywhere in a bit of a hurry

My dream boat would be a classic...
My husbands dream would be this (with a Canadian flag flying)...
And because this is a dream topic, I'm thinking of everyone here, and so if I were filthy rich, I'd invite everyone to join me in a 2 week getaway in my Super Yacht (all expenses paid).

I know one thing for sure, I would not want to have to maintain any of them.
For me, it would be best if I had a close friend who had one that I could visit when I felt like going back to sea. 31 years in the Navy gives a guy a different perspective. Besides, I am pretty sure that I have lost my "sea legs" at this point.

This is the small one my son just sold. Now has a much larger one and I'll get a picture of that.

Back when we were both working we bought this 34 foot Trojan houseboat. It was so much fun and like having a floating cabin. But, as most boat owners will tell you...owning a boat is like a hole in the water to throw your money in.

Not for me.
My friends had a small yacht and I visited them twice, with 2 other friends for the weekend in Rhode Island. Not crazy for it. Had fun in town, tho'.
I have been on several boats on lakes, but honestly I don't understand the appeal.

I can't imagine the upkeep either, nor the fuel bill.
I was just reading a little tidbit on yachts, and for a 180′ super-yacht, one should expect a cost of $4.75 million annually to maintain and run, and the average cost to fuel a large yacht comes in at over $500,000.
I'm not going to complain the next time I gas up my car.
