TranscriptionA picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

While I don't tow more than 2 or 3 times per year, I like to daydream about owning a boat. I need to be able to tow one to imagine I could own one some day.

Why not just keep it in a marina where you want to use the boat? Not snarky, genuine question since I don’t know much about boat ownership.

Generally pretty damn expensive, as with pretty much everything related to boats
