No doubt written by a non boat owner. It's close, but not precise enough.
There actually seems to be a cycle.
1. Buy a boat.
2. Buy a bigger boat (may be repeated as often as necessary).
3. Get rid of the bigger boat and get a smaller one (may be repeated as
often as necessary.
4. Get rid of the last boat.
5. Die
