Man flies to New York to check out the cheapest $10,000 yacht in the country and when they arrive it's not even there

This YouTuber flew all the way to New York to inspect a yacht he’d found on the marketplace for just $10,000.

The problem was that the boat wasn’t there when he reached New York.

We don’t know whether that’s good news or bad news, to be honest.

But there was a silver lining of sorts.

A cheap boat is like a cheap Bentley

Some people would argue that there’s no such thing as a cheap yacht in the same way there’s no such thing as a cheap Bentley.

Or a cheap Rolls-Royce or a cheap Ferrari, or any other ‘cheap’ luxury vehicle.

The expression ‘if you can’t afford it new, you can’t afford it used’ applies to boats even more than it does to cars.

Even cheap boats are expensive to maintain.

And there’s an additional potential source of annoyance because even if you don’t have a garage, we all live near roads.

But most people don’t live near bodies of water, which means you have to moor your boat somewhere, and that’ll cost money.

Sure, you can also park it in the yard, but that’s going to ruin it very quickly.

And this YouTuber accidentally proved that point.

A $10,000 yacht that’s probably going to cost six figures

YouTuber Carter’s Life flew to New York to buy a megayacht listed for just $10,000.

That’s already a huge red flag right there.

Fortunately for him, karma had already thought of that, because the original yacht had been sold and the seller hadn’t removed the listing yet.

The seller offered him another cheap yacht, slightly better than the decrepit one listed for $10,000.

The new boat was a bit of a mixed bag, but surprisingly functional for the price.

It looked a little rough and abandoned, only one of the engines worked, the plumbing situation was a mess, but – and that’s a huge but – the boat worked.

It sailed under its own steam and, interestingly, it was actually in better shape than the original one.

The problem is that, considering the size of the boat, he’s going to need to spend a small fortune to fix it, and then the boat needs to be transported and docked somewhere.

This project is probably going to end up costing the same as a supercar.
