Today, I was giving a tour of my boat to a man who seemed interested in purchasing it. Everything was going great. That is, until, the motor stopped running in the middle of the ocean. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while on vacation with my family, I went parasailing. Just as I was about to take off, the wind picked up and I got blown off course. I ended up crashing into a boat and had to be rescued by the coastguard. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend on my boat at the lake. As we were looking at the mountains all around us, she playfully pushed me off the side into the water. As I got back on the boat, I realized that not only was my cellphone dead, but the ring had fallen into the deep water. FML

Today, our boat broke down in the middle of a lake at sunset. We called our friend for help, and his truck and trailer got stuck in mud at the boat ramp. We called the sheriff's office to tow his vehicle out of the mud. The tow strap broke. FML
Today, my friend and I went boating. In the middle of the lake, we decided to jump in. We put our valuables in the boat and jumped in. When I tried to get back in the boat, it flipped over, and our cellphones, along with my car keys, are at the bottom of the lake. FML
Today, during a boat trip with my boyfriend's family, I got seasick and went to the side of the boat to puke. A current rocked the boat so badly that I fell overboard, prompting a panicked rescue and my boyfriend's mom muttering that I'm a pathetic attention whore. FML
Today, I came home on leave after a seven month deployment in the middle of the ocean for the Navy. My entire region got hit by the worst flood in recorded history. I need a speedboat to go to the Quick-e-mart. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my friend. We figured it'd be awesome if I jumped from my kayak straight into his. Sounded good in theory. One flipped kayak, a pair of lost glasses, and a humiliating swim back to shore later, I'm starting to think it wasn't the best idea. FML
Today, I started my new job as a repossession agent. While attempting to repo a boat, we came across a young couple. The woman was very annoying, and even hit another agent, so I threatened to throw her in the water if she touched him again. I ended up in the water instead. FML
Today, I was kayaking with my family for my birthday when we tipped over while going down a rocky cascade. My husband badly cut up his arm, and my car keys and my phone both went for a swim and never returned. Great birthday. FML

Something tells me you still own a boat...

Two best days in boat owners life: 1. The day he buys his boat. 2. The day he sells it.

He didn't know the motor was going to go. Also, that might be the only problem. Someone would still buy it.

What if it's just a lack off fuel? Don't mean it's broke

More like the boat still owns him. :)

Someone should make a movie about this. They are stranded in the ocean and one of them turns to cannibalism because neither of them can catch a fish then the coast guard shows up.

Because the buyer was eaten

No shit

Use that as a selling point. Tell him it encourages you to exercise by making you swim all the way back to shore.

Or tell him that you planned for the boat to stop so that you can make sure he knows what to do in an emergency.

Myth. My dad sold our boat during his midlife crisis and has regretted it ever since. To the point where he is currently looking for a new boat.

It's wasn't your boat, it was your father's boat. You own no part of the boat.

Why do people always get so hostile on here? And why can't people read and understand a comment before commenting on it...

Just tell him it's on stealth mode. So you can sneak up on the fish.
