Cost me about $120 a day to run the boat for the day for fuel for car and boat, ramp fees, bait, food.

That doesnt include rego, insurance, maintenance

Normally fish 2 to 3 people and every one chips in and covers the daily running the cost.
Or atleast puts towards it.

Some times take boat out once a week but hasnt left driveway in 4 months since august bermagui trip.

I would buy a smaller boat like a 4.2 - 5m orother option is go with others.
For me a typical trip out in a 4.2m poly is
$30 fuel
$15 launch fee
$12 washdown.

Depending on areas fished.
Launch might be free
Fuel will be hardly used.

Bait is not included as i rarely fish with bait.. otherwise add another $20 atleast

How the cfuk so you wash the boat with $4 man..
It takes me a minimum of 10 or 12 and that's with flushing the motor as well though.and milady of the time only cleaning the outside as my boat is generally clean inside dude to lures and no bait

Get a kayak.
$0 fuel, might be $20 worth in the car depending on how far I'm going.
$0 launch fee
$0 washdown
$0 rego
$0 finance

Biggest expense is the Maccas on the way back.

You even catch fish sometimes.
