How/What are you guys using to track expenses? Excel spreadsheets? Quicken?

I know, I know. Do I really want to find out what its costing me

Your wife or girlfriend will have an exact running tally right down to the penny

Don't have either at the moment

Why take the fun out of it

Seriously, you dont want to know. I sure dont.

I know what I paid for my boat 9 years ago and that's where it stoped.

I keep a spreadsheet and a binder with all the receipts. I do this so I can remember how long certain parts seem to last..... It's also nice when you sell it to have a maintenance record.

The farthest I ever got was dividing the number of hours I boated last year by my most optomistic fuel burn number .... I didn't go any farther than that! Ruins the fun. It will never make sense on paper. ...*nd my wife has no clue.

Uhh, do yourself a favor, don't do that. I did that with my first boat and sold it 4 years later. Despite the fantastic times I had on the boat, when costs were considered, I decided keeping it wasn't worth it. I'm NOT going to keep a total with this boat, believe me. Especially not with the price of fuel today!
