Re: Budgeting Annual Boat Expenses?
For s semi serious answer, I usually go through 5-6k for annual maintenance and upgrades. Some years more, some less, depending on the whim of the boating gods. That doesn't include fuel or insurance.
I saw a guideline somewhere once that you should plan annual costs at 10% of price of the boat, which I think included payments. Oh yes, for a used boat the payments go down, but the maintenance is still about the same % of the cost of the equivalent new one since none of the part costs scale with age. -Greg |

-Greg And that does not include monthly payments, but if you keep her on a trailer in your yard that will offset those costs. |
Re: Budgeting Annual Boat Expenses?
Well, Let me put it this way. Buy the boat in late 2003 premium gas sells for 1.30 a gallon insurance is 3100.00. Now 2 years later gas is 2.49 and the insurance is 6400.00 over a 100% jump in expenses. So, there is no budget. Just have fun and hope nothing breaks (Yeah right).
