 Compare the luxury interior of your BWM BMW to that of, say, a boat.

It's because boat parts, fixtures, coatings, etc are really expensive. Put the word "marine" on any widget, and you can triple the price.

Oh god, imagine a marine wedding boat. That's like 20x the price!

You've real clearly never owned a boat before. There's no such thing as "cheap" when it comes to a boat. This is almost as bad as the walk-across-the-US guy.

Except he can't leave a houseboat in a park's parking lot, leaking fluids and abandoned before dumping his cooler on the trail.

I suppose he can rupture his fuel and sewage tanks into the marina and then dump his fridge overboard. Close enough.

Can you just get a RV and attach pontoons or pool noodles to the sides to turn it into a houseboat?? I just read an article in the WSJ that said there is a big market right now for cheaper RVs for the younger generation

Pretty certain this was already posted in the thread, but it bears repeating:

Have you considered buying that floating RV and making a meth lab? If it catches on fire, there's plenty of water to help put it out. I think there was a tv show about it.

Surely you mean the 2-part episode of Thunder in Paradise, starring Hulk Hogan, entitled "Deadly Lessons". It's all some of the fun of Knight Rider, but on a boat!

EPISODE SUMMARY

His angered assistant breaks into the school where Kelly is to teach, and Jessica is a student, and takes the school hostage. Alison, knowing a way in, joins Spence and Bru in the rescue.

There might even be some real pessimists out there who think sharing an internet connection with your neighbors opens you up to all kinds of liability and potential criminal charges since there's always some guy using torrents for child porn and you're all sharing a residential connection against the terms of the service.

You mean the terms of service he can simply change before signing anything? :smugbert:

I just list it as a recreational vehicle and then sleep soundly atop a boat home of savings.

Well, I'll have certainly gotten enough entertainment out of your boat for me to list it as recreational.

a phenomenally bad idea by burning your bridges

Step 1: Burn bridges
Step 2: Float down the previously-bridged river in your boat, laughing at landlubbers and their attachment to fixed structures such as bridges.
