Gonzo - just to set the record straight.... I'm watching a total of 6 maybe 8 boats for you! Never you mind which is what ...just make sure that if the wife ask you about a boat (any boat) you say "yep .... its mine and I appreciate you letting me store them with you!!"

Surely you may, but be aware that the term was used by a professional wordsmith under rigidly-controlled conditions. Use in other circumstances may cause death or injury.

Don't worry about the purses: watch out for the skirts and the training paddles!

Well I only have one boat and it is sitting in my front living room.

Sometime the kitchen.

Four Cboats:

Spanish Fly - The boat I almost always put on the car.
Finkenmeister - The boat I occasionally use. Nice to wear a skirt when the water gets close to freezing.
MR Outrage - Seems to be collecting a lot of dust, but I want to keep for self-supported trips.
Old Town Discovery 169 - For longer self-supported trips, though it is collecting about the same amount of dust as the Outrage.

One Kayak - Perception Corsica (Don't worry Louie I haven't been in it. It was a misguided gift from my brother-in-law).

One Cataraft - On longer trips my daughter oars it so I can paddle.

Cruising - Dagger Interlude (16.5').

One for every day, and a backup if needed.

I love my Interlude - that's my *black* water boat.

We have a 2 1/2-car garage, which houses most of my stable. Most are decked slalom boats, and thus don't have much depth, which helps alot. I can easily store three slalom boats stored on edge on each wall. Because this garage was originally a single car garage that was expanded by the addition of another 1 1/2 bays, it has an extra wall (original outside wall) in the center in-between, giving me two more walls to use! I also hang some boats from the rafters, while still retaining enough headroom underneath to use the floor for either a car or a bunch of bikes. The two shorter kayaks - Jackson Star and the Pyranha Inazone - are standing vertically on their sterns leaning on the end wall. Finally, the Grumman is on loan to a friend in NJ and the Mad River is under a tarp in the side yard.

P.S. I left out a boat on my list, primarily because it currently isn't paddleable: a 16' Old Town wood & canvas without the canvas that has been waiting to be refinished for 35 years.

I long ago gave up my entire 1.5-car garage to canoes. After all, what's more important to you: your canoes or your cars? (I do remember a day last year scraping 3/4" ice from an ice storm off all my car windows that prompted some rethinking that decision, but no action to change anything.)

Just the same, three boats have to go on a rack underneath our 2nd-story deck. And a fourth, an Ally folding canoe, is stored in the basement.
