Default average cost per ride LOL

Have you ever done the math on what it cost per boat ride? Take the cost of gas, annual maint, slip fees, insurance, depreciation ( the big one), registration, fines LOL, drinks and food, damage, any other things we will call misalliance. 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?

If we did we'd have no boats nor anyother toy and all drive leased the lowest cost Hyundai's or Kia's....

Never thought about it and don't care! I'm not an accountant, so I wouldn't know how to figure it out anyway!! Just an old mechanic's point of view......

I figured out my boating cost per season.... it's slightly more than my annual auto/home/health insurance policies. The costs make me want to slit my wrists when I look at them. Not up and down. Just side to side, ya know, for attention. Lol

WHY would you ever want to add that up

just think about all the fun you have and leave it at that

and if your worried about only having a few weeks of boating that what they built Florida for.

I don't want to know.
The grin it puts on my face and the years it takes off my age ( makes me feel like a kid ) are priceless.
