So you rent / charter something and if so what sort of thing?

There's an old saying: If it flies or floats, you're better off renting. (sometimes there's a third F mentioned but i disremember what)
Yup. Dad used to say that a boat was 'a hole in the water into which
you throw money'

Another expression is that two best days of boat ownership is the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
