I don't want to too specific, but someone local to me, had a large pontoon boat that developed a leak and needed work. Rather than fix the existing boat, he started a gofund me page to get a new one, custom built.
Just so you know he drives a Hummer and after the GFM he bought a home in what we call the rich neighborhood, prices are at least three times the average. Oh, he also got the bigger boat.
Edit:
I noted a couple of pages on the marina door yesterday, the Hummer driving, expensive house owning, GFM page starter, has not paid his rent and the marina put a lien on his boat. He also has created a couple other infractions.
