Also, about $200,000.

Cunningham bought that boat from Sonny Callahan, who lives in Mobile. Mobile is one of the cheapest cities in the country, it's our one good point. What would cost you 2 million in NYC, you can get for 500 grand down here. Paying 200,000 for that kind of boat is perfectly reasonable if the owner is from well, a cheap place. It becomes less reasonable if you're in a high COL place like California.

You mean I can make hundreds of thousands of dollars shipping boats from cheap ports to expensive ones?

You mean that in LA and NYC the boat dealers are selling new boats for three times the price they sell the same models in Alabama?

Get serious.

The reason "we" are better than "them" is because we don't midlessly and irrationally defend our own. At least wait for evidence.

It would seem that the Rep. bought the boat form another Rep., because it was presumably already in DC, and thus attractive to a congressman who was looking for a residence or "party barge" or whatever.
