Only boating 4-5 weekends annually, including engine and drive rebuilds every 5-6 years, warehouse cost, airfare, fuel, insurance, misc repairs on trailer & tow vehicle, insurance, etc......probably $8-10k annually. Cheaper than a girl friend

I'm not in the banning mood, it's too close to Christmas.... I own a boat, so I can't afford the Typhoon counseling gofundme page... And if the average person knew what we spend on this hobby, they'd send us ALL to counseling.
It's still cheaper than daycare, though.

Us poor people up north only have maybe 12-16 weekends. Take out weddings ,work, parties, and weather cut that number in half. What's your best guess?

I would rather slam my dick in a car door.

I'm pretty sure it costs way less per mile than when I was motor racing, and a hell of a lot less than my first marriage. Getting to spend time with my family and friends doing something i really enjoy is worth whatever it costs!

When I met Yvonne(CPA-CFP) and told her I was looking at boats again she said "we should put this all on a spread sheet". To which I replied that will be the last time you see me. LOL

Now we have an agreement, I spend on the boat and she spends on horses and we don't discuss what is spent. I still think I come out ahead.
