What is it about boats. they either cost a fortune or people can't give them away.

A few years ago the guy next door sheepishly phoned and said I've bought a boat and can i park it at your place. I said certainly not and what's the story. He said he'd had a few drinks and saw an online auction about to close for a boat on a trailer for one dollar and bought it. It turned out to be the hudgest boat you could fit on a trailer and severely jaded. After a NO from me he parked it about a kilometre away at a boat launching ramp. A short while later it was surrounded by police who thought it odd and maybe a drug runners boat. I think he ended up paying dump fees on it.
