I seem to recall reading about some brand new $300k+ Beneteau where the keel just fell off, instantly sinking the boat and killing the guy.
The chances for that to happen again is the same as getting struck by a lightning on a sunny day.
Many people died because of faulty Tesla cars too. Do we say Tesla's are death traps?
You should never buy a $20k boat which is 20 years old though. That's a death trap.
Oh no! why did I unignore roach. daym.
Btw people are not shifting to catamarans. You are pulling from ass again. Monohulls are always the king shit.
Bullshit. You're definitely not a good trader if you can't figure out the vast price discounts on monohulls is because demand for cats is higher. If you have the money to do so, typically ANYONE would rather live on a nice cat than a nice monohull. As for other monohull vs cat comparisons, I'm in the camp of thought where I'd rather be flipped upside down and clinging to the side of the boat rather than sinking to the bottom of the ocean and clinging to it there.
There is a lot of dispute about cats as to which ones actually do float well or not while tipped over, though. Some of the things seem like they only remain above water by an inch, possibly rendering it not useful as a lifeboat with waves constantly crashing over it.
