33' Powerplay for sale
#121
Come on Semper, you can't really include the cost of your house.
My boating cost 8k a year w/ in water slip(and thats w/o anything breaking).
The boat was 28k... so it was a big cost.
Now if I bought a 200k boat and it cost 12k a yr to keep going... not so big a deal.
BTW... if one would considering buying a new 33 now, they should also look at the 34 Saber... just ask BGIII.

You have a point there, I included it because the only reason I have that house is to go boating
It's a second home, I don't rent it either. I am considering renting it out to help reduce costs

I own a home in Lake Havasu, Az where we do most of our boating....it costs me roughly $3,000+ A MONTH to go boating
.....this is my mtg payment+taxes+ insurance+ boat payment+ boat insurance+ traveling+ food, etc.... 
Everytime we go out there, it costs a minimum of $225.00 to get there and eat, this is not including putting gas in the boat

Semper, just think, if you moved somewhere colder (midwest) you would save 18K per year! Never mind - bad idea

I can literally go boating ALL YEAR ROUND out here, no need for me to move
