  • 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.

      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.

      @@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.

      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.

    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 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!
