Yeah, that's a cool strategy but I would think it works best if you live near the marina and you use the boat frequently throughout the year. For anything less than collapse of civilization, a nice week-long fishing trip would be awesome!

But like you said, the boat and equipment would need to be maintained. I lurk on a prepper forum or two, and during this latest Texas disaster, there were more than a few "preppers" who spent many posts leading up to this, boasting about how ready they were for a hurricane or disaster. Then the SHTF and it's "Da**** it! All three of my gennies failed." Sounds like all 3 of the gennies were junk, not maintained, not ready. If you had a boat, yeah, that would be sweet but only if it was good to go.
