38,000 for a decent speed boat.
fuel just cost us 200
the cost of keeping it at the dock is 3500 per year

add on insurance etc...

takes about an hour to get out where we want to be....

waste of money to be honest

Two best days of boat ownership are the day you get it, and the day you get rid of it.

I don't think its overrated, but I don't want to spend my money on one

Luckily both my dad and brother-in-law own a boat so I don't personally have to worry about one

I'm all about jet skiing though

Dont forget trailer and titling.

Also a larger boat will need a mortgage. Thats another $500-700. That mortgage will need a survey. Thats like $1000. Large boat is not docked where you need it? Ok thats $3000 to move it.

My dad said the best thing about his boat was the day he bought it and the day he sold it.

Half the people I know with boats have them rotting in their garage once they needed repairs.

I went with some friends on a catamaran and chilled out with the captain. Man he made it seem like the life. We grilled burgers like crazy, we sailed between out between different islands (I live in the Caribbean) to snorkel. It was relaxing. When I retire I wouldn't mind owning and living out on a boat and doing what he did, renting out his home to people for a day a few times a week.

But if you're not going to incorporate the boat into your lifestyle in a meaningful manner, I can see where people are coming from when they say:

They're great if you're rich.

Or if you get a crappy little aluminium bass boat that has no maintenance.
