2017 How Much Have You Spent On Your Boat Year To Date

[Thisisit]

I do all the maintenance myself so there is no labour cost...just parts. As for the winter, I have a custom made cover that is very popular here in Southern and South Central Ontario. When I figure out how to post a pic, I'll do it. It comes in 3 pieces. Fwd, mid and aft. Full length zippers from waterline to waterline with velcro flaps. Built in vents. I paid 25 per foot to have it made and it paid for itself in about 2 years of shrink wrap. That was 2012. The gentleman who came up with this was a sail maker by trade but is busy making these now. The only thing I built was the ridge beam and A frame on the hard top. The best thing going for winter.

Now that I am in prime cruising season the costs are going up as fuel is added to the list.

I was not there when they did it so I am not sure how the process worked.
