Hi Stroller, |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
As a nautical type, much would depend on the size of the boat. But there |
| 22 |
are tricks:: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
1. Keep a multi-sheet notepad with the boat, so you can scribble down |
| 25 |
notes, ideas and todo items. Later, you can take that tablet, type it up |
| 26 |
and keep a copy with the boat, for further/deeper annotation. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
2. Never smoke in, near or around the boat, unless it is diesel. A few |
| 29 |
signs to such is always a good idea. Smoking back at the keyboard, is |
| 30 |
usually OK. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
3. USE the dam thing, so you can remember why you started pumping lots |
| 33 |
of cash into it. Mine, I have keg parties, with the keg & ice inside the |
| 34 |
boat, so the boat receives lots of love from you friends. Quite often, |
| 35 |
this is the best use of a boat, regardless if trailered or tied up to a |
| 36 |
doc or wherever. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
4. Dual batteries are a necessity: one of cranking and one to run the |
| 39 |
supervisory electronics that ensures the perfect (or close to it) |
| 40 |
temperature for the beer.... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
5. Almost forgot, if you do intend to actually use the boat, insurance |
| 43 |
is a must, both for sinking and liabilities... |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
6. GNUcash is a great app for all things financial, particulary if you |
| 47 |
use the boat for business and want to track expenses and make your |
| 48 |
accountant happy. Big boats are easy to include with a C or S corp and |
| 49 |
save you big in expenses |
