Depends on what kind of boating you're doing. Also the size, make, materials, power, sail, etc. If you enjoy the process of maintaining a boat, you can save a huge amount of boat-ownership cost. I do all my own maintenance because, for me, it's part of the bliss of owning a boat. In fact, it's just about equal to taking it out. There's a well used maxim: "cruising is fixing your boat in exotic locations." Some folks love sanding and varnishing. |

Steve He said from the high desert in Bum****, Utah. What's the boats per capita figure in Utah (other than aluminum)? I know the number of assholes per capita is high in the immediate vicinity of Steve the bigot's shack. |

Working on boats (some cars and occasionally the house and yard) gives me an opportunity to live in a different space. It's as close to bliss and I can get without going to the mountains or beach and maybe one or two other things. |

Mystic Seaport has two - one built in Germany in the late '60s which needs restoration and a George Herreshoff designed 30 Square built at the Graves Lower Yard in Marblehead which is completely restored. |
