Just got back from Salmon fishing in Seward, a friend of mine has a 40ft all wood converted commercial fishing boat there. There's a brass placard in the wheelhouse that reads "A boat is just a hole in the water lined with wood that you throw money into."
I told him a plane is just a hole in the sky that sucks up money! LOL Seriously though, I think how many 2 seat boats with a 500lb weight limit I could buy for what I've spent on my C150. Makes me want to cry.

And back to the original topic, boats are all definitly female.
