- In this video we tell you the TRUE expenses of owning a boat. How we bought a 16 year old boat for $16,500 and now have $100,000 into it. My dad and I sit down with you and tell you almost all the expenses our boat has incurred over the last 5.5 years of us owning it. We've kept a detailed ledger of every expense and time we've used the boat.
Our boat is a 2002 247 Edgewater

When I'm 90 years old and the nurse in the retirement home is changing my diaper, I don't want to look back and think "I wish I had bought a boat" You can't take it with you, but you can make priceless memories with your family and friends. Truly worth every penny.
I had a boat for 5 years never came close to spending that,,,5 years of slip fees,,,I have a motor home,,,samething,,,its nice that they kept good records to let people know,,,but your right you cant take it with ya👍👍
Michael Campbell, so well said. Life is to live and those who have never spent a day on the ocean fishing, diving exploring, sightseeing, snorkeling, etc. have never lived.
Or if you put $100,000 in a money market account in 7yrs it will double, ive allways wanted a boat but I don't like debt, I see you have to know how repair yourself or his book would probably read $200,000.
@@michaels8775 Yep the stock market always just goes up,right? A lesson is heading your way.
@@DIYDaveT I didn't say that it allways goes up but average 30yr history is 12% thats making money, been wanting a boat forever but when I see videos like this its just don't right depressing. And the prices of new boats over $100,000 can't be justified and with that new American policy implemented by biden usa last this country gonna suffer and a boat will be the 1st to go. 2-3mpg @$5 a gal for fuel thats horrible. What do u get for investment some memories
Your dad nailed the reason why I want a boat so badly. The price of owning a boat will never replace the memories made or the food caught!
As long as you really do enjoy it so many buy them and never use them. Not what they thought and they just sit never being used you got to really enjoy water and the work that is involved with owing one I bet most end up sorry. And taking a big lost at the end. I know it not for me that is for sure. I would buy something cheap at first and make sure it what you want. Even the people that I know that love boating got sick of the money that’s involved. For this guy the money might not be a big deal but most got to think about it.
By the way Brooke, you have the most amazing Dad in the world. I am very envious lol.
Jon Draper shit ! I was thinking the same ! The dude rocks ! I’m going to check this channel out !
The dude rocks !!
"Worth every penny!!"
Good vido Brook and happy new year wish u all ur dream come true i love u so much
Honestly, $15k a year for EVERYTHING really is not that bad.
To be honest when you leave the boat in the water you are putting a rapid time clock on the boat life from mechanical to fiber glass being scorched in the sun. But hey it is what it is..🤗
🤨 Just think what your $$ number would be if you had to keep it at a marina 🤨
You need to get a boat lift so you won't have to bottom paint your boat anymore. Best thing ever.
Most detailed 5yr list I've seen....most guys dont keep record because if the wife found out just how much was actually being spent on boat ownership, he would be fishing from land. Lot of money, but family and enjoying time together is priceless.
This is the BEST video about boat ownership that I have seen. I share a boat with 3 friends and we opened a bank account just for boat expenses. We put $250.00 each per month. We also use that money for our rod, reel and bait bills too.
I always keep a fishing log but never have kept record of the expenses for the exact opposite reason you kept yours - I don’t want to know!
XRP ayday Smart!
The best thing about this video and the other videos is all the love you have for one another. Your dad reminds me of my dad. He’s no longer with us but he had a teaching heart. He worked hard at his job and then only wanted to do things with his family. All the best. Jim from Georgia.
You guys are great, your blessed to have one another. It’s refreshing to see the costs from such a “nuts and bolts” perspective. Thanks
Found your channel as I was looking for information on boat ownership. Took my kids out this weekend in kayaks and realized that there is a whole world out there that we have been missing out on. This video has been the only one that broke down the cost of ownership in such practical detail. Thanks for putting it together. Subbed!
You can't put a price on the intangible factors. The joy of being with your family on the water is priceless.
I too purchased a used boat a year ago, 2004 HydraSports Vector 2400cc, after a year long search and struggle between buying new or used. Plan was to fish it for a year then do some upgrades..........after starting to add new spreader lights.......ended up with all new wiring, lights, electronics, radios, antennas, all new pumps and hoses and finally a repower from an 04 Yamaha 300 HPDI to twin 2019 Honda BF150s. After doing all the work, except repower, ourselves, I’m all in at around 90k, no liens and couldn’t be happier, the Vector is a Beast of a Hull and everything else but the toilet and trailer is new. This is my first offshore boat and we’ve enjoyed several great fishing trips since the repower in September and I’m looking forward to many great trips to come! Love your videos, you’ve got awesome friends and family! Have a great 2020!
your old man really loves you and he's such a fun and loving guy! y'all are both so lucky to have him in your life
Great video! I commend your discipline to actively log all of the maintenance records, gas and trip details. I just purchased my first Flats boat and you guys have motivated me to do it now. Love your channel and have learned a lot watching. Looking forward to future videos!
Definitely a very cool Dad. He has passed on to his family, a joy for life and appreciation of being together. ❤
Doesn’t sound too bad, and again your Dad is great! Priceless memories! My dad is 91 and our best memories probably were on our boats.
I grew up on a ski boat and I have the most amazing memories. I’m 28. My husband and I bought our first boat 5 months ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. My daughter is 4 and just loves it. I can’t wait to teach her water sports next summer!
That's great. I always say you have the coolest dad and after this video its confirmed. I spend so much on camping stuff, but all the memories I have made with my family make it seem like pennies. Memories are priceless.
Love the idea of keeping a book! I only have a 16' aluminum skiff, and I think i am going to start doing the same!
Love It!! Boats are the most fun for the whole family. I can't imagine what I have spent over the years on fishing, hunting, dirt track racing, etc. But it was all so much fun and that's what families Should Do! I'm too chicken to keep tabs! lol
Hi Brooke you had the most supported father, the best father of all the whole world. I do missed your grandma. God bless everybody. Working together in the boat, is the happiest moment, that you share to us. Is a big help to us. Thank you so much. God bless
This is an amazing look into what it takes to maintain a nice boat and what it takes to keep it up. I am sure that if you factor in the worth of what all you have caught in this time it would offset the cost dramatically. It is awesome how y'all have kept track of that for such a long time. I love this channel just as much as Vic's. Keep up the great content!
Loved this video! It's an honest depiction of boat ownership costs that help give me a better idea of what to expect when its time for me buy a family boat one day. I am truly inspired now to make that happen if I could have even half the fun that your family enjoys! Thanks for sharing...God bless!!!
I have the same relationship with my daughter! We bought a boat and I hope my daughter will be like you! She also loves the water and is very helpful. :)
This was a good look into expenses for all of that fun and good times and I had no idea of the expenses...but all in all good info...and interesting...
This was valuable and needed detailEd information for anyone who is a 1st time boat purchaser.
Brook I know you already know this but your dad has an awesome attitude about life. You are blessed to have such a positive person in your life.
I am a fisherwoman here from *Brazil,* I love your fishing videos they are amazing Congratulations!👍🎣❤
Awesome video , this is the truth behind boating 🛶. But, hanging out with the family making memories is priceless.
Love how you kept all the records and the video of replacing the gas tank. Really interesting, I watched it to the very end. Love all your videos!
Wow! It is amazing the way you kept all these expenses, I love it
That was great! Who'd have thought going through expenses would be something I'd watch, but it was really great!
Haha thanks Tim!
Even for someone like me who has money and don't bother spending any amount on my yatch or my sea life, this video was still fun. This was all about how much love and enthusiasm you guys had for your boat and sea life than how much on what you spent on.
Your dad is a really great person Brook! Great ledger you guys kept, more prosperity for 2020💯 keep up the good work #TailsUp
Enjoyed your Dad interacting with you. Oh I missed you cooking this time
Boat with lots of good memories. Thumbs up Brook!
Good thing y'all RUclips, keep living, fishing and enjoying life!
It's worth it! Fun times for you and your family!
Brook and family, my husband and I really enjoy your videos. I’m glad we found your channel.
Thank you for the detailed information. It’s funny I’ve been watching a lot of cost of ownership videos and boats
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Great video on boat ownership cost. That the most I have seen your dad talk. You are blessed to have such a great dad.
Now go fishing!
Any size boat gives out a decent amount of money, but if it a dream or lifestyle it's not a waste. It's worth it if done the right way! Love all the details to know and be showed for a boat owner does help with anyone looking to get into a boat.
Not sure what happened to my comment, but I loved this video so thank you for making it! Super informative and great memories for sure ♥️ Love your dad too 🤗
Just started watching you guys. This was the best video because it gave me an honest account of boat ownership. Scary in a way but you can’t put a price on fun with family.
we have all missed you and vick. happy new years
priceless . a good time with the family. has no price 😀 monney well spent
Life is an adventure and it sounds like your living it. Love responsibly put we can’t stop living. Great video. I have a boat and I love it.
This is an amazing video on the cost of owning a boat. I’ve been looking for something like this to help me decide on a pre- owned vs a new boat. Thank you
That was a great vlog.. I love my father and this reminds me of our family.
Brook I appreciate the efforts you and your dad put out thumbs up👍
All the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 keep up the good work and keepon making memories with the family 😉
No relation to Mat ( below ) I find this episode to be very informative and also I enjoy all your videos. I lived in Pompano for 22 years and left there 30 years ago. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for the memories. Love your and Vic's channel . Good on ya.
I just love you and your father relationship it’s not even fishing and I watching this video don’t own a boat either it’s just y’all and how y’all grove just beautiful to me
Had no clue of all the parts and pumps, costs etc. Thanks for sharing all the granular details. Really helpful 👌
crazy how much you guys have spent, but i guarantee its worth all those good times! love the channel brook!
Thanks for sharing. I will start keeping the ledger. I'm bit scared to see the total expenses but like you said, it's totally worth every penny.
Great video. I've never owned a deep water boat. I have mixed feelings of relief and regret about that.
the blessings of having so much money, hopefully one day i'll get a boat and spend so much money on it in order to make memories with the family
Great info, thanks for the run down.
You guys seem like nice folks 👍
BTW I believe we passed you and Victor yesterday afternoon on our way back from lobstering... 14 lobster (3 people) and a dozen lionfish 👍
We were out there yesterday! Wow nice haul!!
This is a dose of reality a lot of people need. Bought our boat for $1900 and we will have $10,000 into it soon and you wouldn't be able to tell at all just by looking at it.
Your dad is a very smart man. Love your family
Looking at buying my first real boat, I like knowing numbers. Thanks for the vid and Dad is always right!
Great information glad you shared
I don't own a boat, but wish I did! Thanks for the money rundown! We lived on the water in Cuba, we had a summer house by the ocean, my dad had a little boat. Yes, I miss it very much. It's very expensive owning a boat here in Miami. Maybe in my next life. Have fun because I am enjoying it just as if I was there with you guys! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I'll be buying a saltwater boat in 12-18 months. This does a good job framing what I may be looking at for O&M costs.
Very informative and eye opening! Thank you!
Nice job Dad on keeping the boat in "Top Notch" condition!! Keeping your family Safe out there and making Great memories comes 1st and you Cannot put a price on that. Your boat still looks Great and that Custom Cover is Perfect.
I agree our boats can get pricey to maintain. Great Video content
Brooks Awsome meals are "PRICELESS"
This was a good honest video. I have had similar issues with my boat. I am a mechanic so I do a lot of the work myself. However it all adds up. But I would trade a min of the time I get to enjoy it with my friends and family.
Great video that is excellent attention to detail, Brook you are an absolute Angel
Best dad ever!!! Hey, I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I just realized that I was not subscribed, so I just did it.
Awesome video guys. I’m wanting to get a boat for my family in the next year or so. It’ll be our first boat. I like the idea of keeping a log like you have. Going to be doing that for sure. Thanks for breaking down everything for people. Very very cool. Subscribed also.
One day that log book will be a wonderful way to remember friends and family. Sounds like money well spent.
Such a great father daughter video. You guys are great!
I love the way dad is like ! Hey we boat and we want it fixed ! It’s funny I’m in the middle of finishing up my Nor-Tech and I’m pulling it out at the end of the month ! I need some canvas work done ! I’ll be hitting him up !
Thanks ! Geo .
Thanks Geo! Enjoy the Nor-tech!
Thanks Brook, that's a wonderful informative video. I love your videos, keep them coming, they are all fun.
Oh, and you can't put price on pleasure.
Your dad is awesome! Blessed family!
During the Covid pandemic, I watched almost all youtub movies you made! I feel that there is so much love in your whole family! Your dad's teaching how to moor the boat safely and his joy when you tell about the diary where everything is written how the boat was used and all the expenses. I wish you all the blessing of God.
Bill from Sweden
Great experience to share! Thanks a lot.
This is an eye opener, but I'm still buying a boat. Thanks for this video. God bless and fish on.
Such an awesome family!!! Keep the videos coming!!
We're up in Alaska, and will be fishing mostly out of Seward. We just bought our first boat. We bought a 22' C-Dory Classic (angler). We've already spent a grand on it before even taking it out just on little things. We still need to do the oil change, spark plugs and impeller.
Started following yours and Viks channel. Moving to Florida and looking to get a boat pretty close to this price range. This video was so informative.
Dad you said it, gotta keep those kids safe when they go 20 miles off shore, Can't put a price on that. Stay safe and thanks for the Video.
I don't think I've ever seen you sitting besides at a dinner table! Great record keeping and thanks for sharing! 😄
Excellent information, and great to know
Awesome video. I own 2 boats and those numbers are real world.
Looking a boat now. Might go for a brand new boat after your video.
you have the most amazing Dad
Your dad's laugh about the rod holders 🤣🤣
Fun times with Family and friends is priceless.
Love the father daughter duet! Awesome sauce! 👌
Great video Brook, your Dad ,what a nice guy 👍🏻🎣🎣
Every boat being seaworthy must maintain a log. Good on you to start the day of purchase.
Awesome video, awesome dad. Thanks for the content. :)!
Brooke's dad is a very rich man, and I don't mean money. I'm following his lead, just bought my first boat.
Your dad seems like a really good guy!
Your journal/log is a great idea.. cheers!
Love the Family aspect of your videos!
Excellent video Brook.
