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.

Ya, just like YOURS in your ****ing LANEWAY...ASSGASKET.

SHUT THE **** UP, you add NOTHING.
