Choosing a Boat
What are the average annual costs on top of the purchase?
Annual cost follows length rather than value, so on an inexpensive older boat it looks much heavier as a proportion. The main items are berthing, haul-out and antifouling, insurance, engine maintenance and unplanned repair.
Why it works this way
A survey is what turns the last of those from a guess into a forecast — which is the item that actually breaks budgets.
