    I had a 32 foot SeaRay and it was $1000 per month just for Insurance and slip. $500 in fuel every week, constant maintenance, etc…

    That sounds about right, my cost are:

    Slip - $ 8,400 per yr.
    Fuel - $ 1,200 per season
    Repair, normal service, upgrades - $6,500 per yr. (average)
    CA Property Tax - $500 per yr.
    Insurance - $ 700 per yr. (I get a sizable break, Power Squadron classes (Piloting, Seamanship and Junior Navigator)

    $17,300 or $1,441 per month

    Dang only $1200 in fuel for the season? You must not go anywhere or your boats gets 1o miles per gallon?

    Boat gets a little over 2 miles per gallon under good conditions and at cruise speed, holds 200 gallons. That said, most of what we do is around the harbor, adjacent harbors, bar/restaurant hopping, etc. Wife has a back issue and does not handle the Pacific chop very well, happy wife is happy boating. The longer trips are for fishing (just the guys), out to Catalina and San Clemente Islands, still just less than 100 miles roundtrip.

    This will be the first summer for a while without a big boat going to miss it .Of course we have a Boston whaler 35 outrage on the lift in the back yard…but noting like having a yacht at the neighborhood marina.
    We really enjoy cruising up the Chesapeake to a variety of destinations. Then in the fall heading down to florida .. in no particular hurry..a combination of inside and outside depending on weather and other factors..we always try to stay somewhere with a nice restaurant…

    I’m looking at buying a big boat again too. Smaller than before but big enough for my wife and me to do Bahamas runs in moderate conditions. Looking at wide 45ish expresses.
    Seems like a good time to buy.
