You’ve completely summed up boating! Expensive and impractical, which makes you want it even more. But you forgot the most important part; absolutely life changing and you wouldn’t sell it for the world! ;)

But isn’t it funny? Some people pay upwards of $2 million for a water front/view property so they can just SEE the water and as a society we think that’s OK. Boaties, however, spend just a fraction of that cost to actually be ON the water and touch it, yet it’s often seen as an extravagance. Go figure! :-)
