Is it true the happiest days of a boat owners life are the day he buys and the day he sells it?

My father-in-law used to say it's not the day you sell it, it's the day it sinks. Because insurance is the only way you're getting any money for it.

Dumbest shit I heard. Definitely not the first time, I’ve heard this plenty. Meanwhile I’ve bought two wakeboard boats, spent 15+ summers of pure bliss having fun on the lake. And sold both for more than I bought em for. Wish I didn’t sell though. Those boats have appreciated another 100% since.
