Thinking about buying a boat?
The purchase price is only part of the ownership equation. Depending on the size and type of boat, owners should also budget for:
• Insurance
• Marina or storage fees
• Annual servicing
• Antifouling and maintenance
• Fuel
• Safety equipment
• Upgrades and repairs
The good news? Most costs are predictable when planned for properly.
