The 650F has had 15k spent on it in the last 12 months which should keep it going perfectly for another few years.
Pretty expensive hobby.... apart from maintaining it, fuel, rego, insurance, ramp fees, servicing, etc....for a $50K boat, you're up for another $3K p.a. just in cost of capital (assuming you have an average mortgage). 1 boat is a crazy 'investment'...2 boats is lunacy! I say go on a charter when you get the blue water itch, you'll save a fortune.frozenpod wrote:Just required maintenance.
