Marine terms you hate…

I have a friend that refers to his 34 foot as a yacht.

I consider a yacht something I cant afford and is over 60 feet.

I wondered about this too when I was looking for larger craft. As Wikipedia says (and they're always right ), "There is no standard definition, so the term applies to such vessels that have a cabin with amenities that accommodate overnight use. To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and may have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities." So, based on that, your friend could likely consider his a yacht.

I always have called about 100' a yacht. Once they hit a couple hundred + I figure they are a ship

Many moons ago any boat over 30' was referred to as a yacht. When people referred to Beachcomber as a yacht I just politely corrected them and told then it was just a boat.

IMHO yachts have paid crew. My Admiral worked for wine. There's a diff.

Nah, that's a warm water heater. If it was already hot, you wouldn't need to heat it! This graphic should help you to understand the difference between a water heater and a hot water heater:

Even Dwight knows the difference:
