Considering he lives in New England, not likely.

I visited him at his farm in 2016. I don't know when he moved in there, but it has been many years as his wife works in DC.

I thought his farm was in MD?
A boat that size, he could cruise that sucker down the Potomac hit the Chesapeake, hit the big water and roll on to FL all while putting all those fishing rods in the water to catch food for the trip!

I think Rhode Island is about as far south as it stretches.

That is my boat, parked at my shack in Florida.

If you look closely, you can spot Hugh and Byron

Oddly, I looked at some boats last weekend...just checking prices if I "need" one when we move to South Carolina.

Holy moly...when did they stop giving boats away?

If you want to go back tp 90s and 2000s, 35ft+ boats are dirt cheap. A little sprucing up and you'll have a $300K yacht. The problem is the cost of a slip. That's painful.

I thought New England was Connecticut and parts north. 🤷🏽

At least, when we lived in Connecticut, that’s what it was.

A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.

That boat sips $100 bills while idling, I can't imagine the fuel costs too run that...Whoever owns it lives in a different zip-code than I..


New England is the six states east of New York.

I had a friend buy an old yacht to live on about 10 years ago. He said it was cheaper than housing in the DC area at the time...and less commute. What surprised me is how slow it was. Top speed was around 8mph. He had to use up his vacation days just driving it home from FL.
