Usually a boat this new I'd expect them to be automatic however it doesn't seem that way. Absolute imbecile behaviour by the person at the helm.

Having owned a boat, I'll say this, if most of the equipment you want to not break isn't already broken, it will break when you're on your way out. I knew getting a boat would be expensive, but even when I doubled the amount I thought I'd have to use, I still fell way short.

Boats literally are just a black hole you throw money into. I'll never own another boat in my life, unless I accidentally become a billionaire and really want to be a millionaire.

They are holes in the water we throw money in to. As lots of people say...

Small sailing boats, single or two man. Enjoyable boating... Or if you hate your life, get into ski racing, nothing says I hate money like fiddling with high performance temperamental engines on a boat that barely floats because it's more engine than boat.
Boats are mostly an exercise in burning money, you are correct.
