Oh goodness yes! Just sold ours today. Got my Capex back but Opex outlay this year alone has been close to 10k AED for about 5-6 rides. Weather too bloody windy for engine boats this year most weekends.

Yacht?! Erm. Ok, we are a half share in a 26 ft twin Hyundai 220 or 200 hp (cant remember ) Sooly, walk around.
Bloody petrol tank rusted because previous owners installed a cheaper aly one. We have to limit engine size, as in Oman anything bigger attracts the attentions of the authorities due to smuggling. That said, I recently bought some lovely Qom (err, I mean Afghanistani, no really) carpets������ |

Dad is currently looking at selling both of his. Think he's going to get quotes and decide not to bother. Especially since he's only recently finished all the repairs since the yacht sank!

In KSA, SABB Bank (HSBC) will loan you 50k interest free for a year, also same deal from my company - so 100k interest free and you have nearly got the price of a decent car which you can pay off in 12 months time...
