      This is important; if I live on the houseboat then that seems like an obvious answer but if I can’t, I’ll get far more use out of a car. A boat is just a logistics problem unless it’s where I live.

    I’d take the car if there wasn’t a large sum of money included. I’ve owned boats most of my life and believe me they cost a lot of money to keep in a slip and maintain each year. Even a “normal” boat will cost you $5k - $10k a year to maintain. A car you just need a secure covered place to keep it.

    Slips for luxury boats can run several thousand dollars a month to rent. Add in 10% of the price of the boat per year to just keep it floating and in working order.

      Yeah, if you consider operating costs and such, I wouldn’t want to insure a fancy car either. I would just abandon either of them and hope there’s no paper trail leading back to me.

      In the spirit of the question, though, I would take the boat. I already have a car and it doesn’t float.
