           3 Limited to a party of six.                                               
          Those rates were within 5 to 10 percent of the rates set by                 
          Ballard Marine during the preceding 5 or 6 months that it held              
          the yacht out for charter, and those rates were not changed                 
          during the remainder of time that Ballard Marine owned the yacht.           
          Petitioner was accorded a discount of 40 percent when he                    
          chartered the yacht from Ballard Marine.                                    
               On May 13, 1987, an entity named Gulfcoast Farms chartered             
          the yacht for the stated rate of $3,200 a week for a 7-day trip             
          to Key West, Florida.                                                       
               No other charters were made before the yacht was moved north           
          at the end of May 1987, except that petitioner used the yacht on            
          three occasions.  Petitioner was expected to pay for his use of             
          the yacht.  Petitioner did not pay for his 1987 use of the yacht            
          until sometime in 1988.
