I stopped trying to justify hobbies a long time ago, the dollars don't match what I can buy at the meat or fish market.

I just drive vehicles that are paid for to balance the home budget

Believe me I hear you.

I just finished grinding up 100lbs of deer meat into basically hamburger that I could buy for fraction of the cost.

Still, I think that's what the OP is asking, why aren't these super specialized rigs more popular in LA? The answer is they limit what you can do, and therefore narrow down the market to the rich or very dedicated. The average weekend warrior is gonna gravitate to a boat that can do a wider range of things comfortably for the same cost. I know I am.
