Brunswick CEO Dustin McCoy was recently interviewed on Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" tv show. Did you know Jim Cramer owns a 170 Montauk?

That TV guy must not be making much money, or maybe he is not a serious boater. I have worked with a lot of TV on-camera guys who were boaters. They all had boats a lot bigger than a 17-foot outboard skiff.

I think I am correct in assuming you were making a joke Jim.
There certainly are numerous extremely wealthy "serious boaters" in my neck of Cape Cod who happen to own Boston Whaler Montauks and Sports...
Although I'd personally give Mr. Cramer a little more credit if he owned a "classic".

A Local(to Boston)television personality has been on this site asking advise on trailering his Montauk to Florida.

Jim must have received some bad investment advice from Mr. Cramer and now he is "mad".It probably was to invest in Bombardier :).

Did you ever read, "The millionaire next door"?
Perhaps, you would realize that many wealthy people got to that point not overextending themselves on debt with a boat they truly could not afford.
This in essence, says a great deal why this country is in so much trouble right now.

170 Dauntless is 42 grand. For the rich only.

Is the premise here that boat ownership is first and foremost about conspicuous display of wealth? Is it about setting oneself apart from the masses to gain a transient illusory moment of superiority?
I am no fan of that Mad Money guy; he's a disgrace, kind of the Jerry Springer/Rush Limbaugh shock-jock wind-bag-on-crack (or maybe he's snorting Oxycodin with Rush) of financial infomercials. That being said, why not go for the best boat in category? I suppose it is possible he spent all his money on crack, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is smart, is there a better boat than the Montauk in that category? Of course, in addition to his little Whaler, it is also possible he has a big boat that is not a Whaler.
Personally, I prefer smaller boats to big boats, more like a sports car as opposed to a motor home. Perhaps as I age more and my knees give out, I will adapt my preferences.
