I think I can top that. 2 years ago bought a new boat ( used but new to me) First, lost downrigger ball and rigging, $40. Then we took a spin to Weirs to check some of the fish. Got in the boat and it would not start. End up going to Channel Marine to buy an alternator , $238. Then, as we are leaving the Weirs dock, I figured I would take a couple pictures with our new digital camera, which my wife said " don't take the new camera, you'll drop it in the water". Which I laughed at her and said " Don't worry, I won't". Well, the camera slipped out of my hand and I saw it on the bottom, managed to fish it out, but it did not work again. $199.
