4 boat theory?

[PeterM]

So what is this 3 or 4 boat theory I have seen on these threads? I ask because am feeling a slight twinge of guilt looking for a new for me seacraft. That would put me at 3 boats so if I have a good story that will help me rationalize that.

So far I have the old mako on a slip for my old man. No need to trailer for him and it's old enough that I don't worry that he hits things and drives over rocks. A flats boat for the shallows and sight fishing. And now maybe a SC for offshore and windier days..

Am worried the tax assessor might drive by my yard and start taxing me as a boat yard this winter....
