Re: My Project - Cost

Let me say I have spread the "love". I'm not dreaming of rolling around on the deck naked......yet, but I get a huge smile on my face when I see her and often dream of our future adventures together. Can you marry a boat in this country yet? If one was to marry their boat would she be cons...
