Guest Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Ok, so I spend a lot of my down time at the office looking at boats for sale (I refer to it as motivation). So WHY?????? do brokers, particularly if advertising on a site that limits the number of photos, feel they have to include photos of the toilet?????? Maybe this particular 40 ft average white sloop snuck out of the factory without one??? Guys, one marine toilet looks a whole lot like the next one. Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 57 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I know when I'll be trying to talk the financial controller into a 28' keeler (our first yacht) in a few years, it'll be the first thing she asks about. And furthermore I'll guarantee that she'll definitely look in there before she checks out the diesel. Perhaps the brokers know who they're selling to... Link to post Share on other sites

Im with Dags, if the women folk (who often hold the purse strings) dont like the dunny, the broker is going to be pushing shyt uphill (excuse the pun) to get a sale Women who enjoy peeing in buckets are hard to find. Same thing with Benebravaelans, the interiors look lovely on the marina, but are completely impractical for sailing. Yet the non-sailing wife goes down below on the brokers show boat and screams about how lovely it is down here. Just try wrestling a pan full of bacon and eggs in that galley whislst bashing to windward in 25knts, luv. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Squid, you'd make a crap salesperson wouldn't ya? I'd knot recommend you get into selling boats, cars or god forbid, houses Who do you think the toilet photos are there for, George Michael and Boy George? When you show someone a house which gender tends to be the one who suss the dunny, laundry and kitchen as opposed to the other who goes for the man cave, beer fridge locations and measures the garage to see if it'll fit a 8.5 multi build project? Good golly, that's a post out of left field for a gent who does what ya do Link to post Share on other sites

Looked at a place the other day that measured up well Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Probably the same reason real estate agents always have a picture of the toilet in a house.... Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 and based on that goes the saying...pics or it didnt happen. oh nooos theres no picture of a toilet, therefore it must obviously not have one. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have a theory that the brokers have one solitary shiny kettle that features on the stove in every shot, yet strangely is never on the boat when you buy it. It is a nice kettle though, I will give them that. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Squid, I'm surprised. As a former liveaboard cruiser you would know more than most that the heads is an important part of the boat. If the logistics of using the thunderbox or trying to have a shower or shave without bashing your elbows/head or soaking the contents of your loved one's cosmetic kit is not user-friendly, then life aboard isn't as easy. I know I've rejected more than one boat in the past cos I thought the layout of the heads was too unfriendly. And as KM says if the female members of 'joint' buying decision aren't on board (literally) then you're on a hiding to nothing pursuading them to approve your purchase.

Perhaps the brokers know who they're selling to... that is of course unless you're checking out a townson design where you get both in the same room, nice dry dunny paper as well as an often pongey engine to service Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 To illustrate, see if you can pick which one is from a house. (I particularly like #4, they left it open so you could inspect yesterday's droppings. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd say the first photo is from a house - a real classy bog that one! The last photo is a dunny on an Elliot 5.9 Link to post Share on other sites
