And so it begins another season of fun in the sun.

2018 Boating Expenses

Cost

1675.00 Summer Dockage Gibraltar Boat Yard

This years additions and most likely the end of the major modifications (yeah right )

Replacing all 3 AC units with MarinAire units.
Replacing both mattresses
Addition of high power under water led spotlights x4
Addition of blue color underwater spotlights x2 and to compliment new blue lighting in the large side vents x8
Adding dimming feature to the cockpit overhead lights
Replacing a bunch of rocker switches to newer backlit versions
Adding a dedicated LTE wireless network
Adding an "Arlo" wireless security camera system

Around $6500 US for all of the above.

2018 dockage $3750, $160 for splash, new fenders $400 hopefully not much more this year!

This is always interesting to see how much others are paying in all the different areas. As a rule we northerners get pillaged pretty badly for services.. ....Monday will be pay for the yearly slip day... ...We will be out collecting bottles all weekend..garage sale soon...I'm kidding..

$7.00 winter tax bill for the slip.

I paid the 2018 slip last year, so far this year $125.00 for compound, wax and cutter / buffer pads.

We pay for our slip in instalments starting Last October. I will be all paid up by June $4655 CDN including tax.

I have a laundry list of preventative maintenance items to do but I have not costed it out yet.
Impellers both engines
Impeller generator
Replace both belts on the engines
Service the distributors (or whatever they are called now)
replace water hoses on the engines if needed.
And so on.......

You know I really do not want to know what I Spent!LOL

I found a pretty cool app called Boating Suite it keeps track of expenses, maintenance, fuel logs...nice to see excact expenses and fuel expenses.

Starting Jan1st, excluding moorage, licensing and fuel.
Includes only upgrades and maintence. $11500.00

Moorage is only $270mo, licensing was about $300 and I haven't fueled up since late Sept when she went to Dagmars.
I work on it all winter, but boating is limited.
