The numbers I put up were just approximations from memory, but to all you guys that say they don't keep track. Sure you do , there is no way you got to where you are today and power boating by not keeping track of finances and expenses..... :down:

Yes it is for sure alarming some times, but I think necessary to put things in perspective as well. I used to become attached to some boats, this one we have now I have no attachment to, we like it but that's it...... :-D

Rick's numbers are always so great !!!!!!...what's up with that.... :-D
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Well said Hans! It is interesting to just cost it out once a year. That expense, while surprising, does compare favorably to a lot of other options. CBTL is my happy place. Happy = priceless. :-D 8-) er

That is why the enjoyment derived from boating for most if not all of us is priceless. I like to know how much I spend on my hobby but I don't worry about the cost since my enjoyment is worth every penny.

What a passion we all have. Sort of an addiction. If my wife and I sat down and did this, ohhhh boyyyy.
We knew when we bought her that there was going to be some coin involved. I guess it's like a home when you want to improve it to make sure that it is where you want to be. New gps, carpets, upper Isinglass, rear deck redo with fabic and Isinglass. Nope, don't want to calculate.
