Yeah, @tjs1295 sounds like youre around a tough crowd. First as relates to beans in a can, it sounds more elitist to say you should buy your beans in a bag. They sound way too "natural".
But as to boat pricing, they obviously aren't interested in any kind of boating if 5K sounds offensive to them. What would be a good price for them to get into a boat? Other than a row boat, of course.
Find new friends or avoid discussing the subject. Talk to them about how much beer they consumed over the weekend.
