And those costs can be very significant on a 45 ft boat, easily 1 or 2

thousand at many boatyards. Then you also need to add in the cost of

spring commissioning and bottom painting, another 2 or 3 thousand,

possibly more. Last but not least, don't forget insurance. That

depends on the value of the boat, size of the deductible, type of

policy and the scope of your boating area - at least a couple of

thousand for a typical 45, probably more. Routine maintenance costs

for engines and generators will also add another 1 or 2 thousand, much

more if major work is required. On top of all that add in at least 5

to 10 percent of the purchase price for outfitting the boat the way

you want it in the first year of ownership - seemingly little things

like dock lines and fenders add up fast, and big things like

electronics, dinghies and outboards add up really fast.



I just knew there was a good reason I downsized to an 18'er on a trailer on a parking lot in a

Marine Base!

Poor boat...spending all it's time baking on black asphalt when it should be spashed once in a while.


What color ashphalt is your boat parkes on, dummy?

Man, since you've been being Scotty's apologist, you're getting as
insane as he is, care to try again in real English?
