Brilliant, thanks for sharing this. My wife and I are thinking about a first boat having moved to Chichester this year. I found this video really interesting.

Excellent. Very helpful and practical. Thanks.

That was really helpful thanks.

I used to be moored on the Hamble with a boat the same size. I now have my boat at home on the trailer and have always maintained it myself. Just the saving on mooring costs pays for 2 years fuel 😮

Cheers. Enjoy your boat. It’s a labor of love. YOLO.

You keep popping up on my recommendations. Really interesting breakdown of costs. Have you any idea (from this one or previous boats) how much maintenance costs are annually?

Hi mate, I’m so glad you’ve started this channel! I’ve always wanted my own boat even though I’ve never been on one! I’m a keen fisherman and would love to start sea fishing! I’ve really no idea where to start and have so many questions! Keep the videos coming, I know you’ll have plenty of subs in near future! I’d love to come and spend and hour or so with you, maybe a little ride out to get a feel for it 🙏🏻

thanks yours share , I Just help my friend buy a 20ft new boat cost about 15.9k, I will share it in my channel .

Depreciation also a factor, but not so much if you pick up a used boat at a good price. As an example, Broom Ocean 37s seemed to bottom out at about 45k, twenty years ago, and are now worth pretty much the same. At the other end of the scale, if you've just paid 750k for something flashy, and it will be worth half that in ten years, that's 3k per month just in depreciation. Add all the other costs, and you discover that you're hemorrhaging five hundred pounds an hour every time you take it out. Nearly nodded off for a moment.

What boat you have and the lenght? Please. Thank you

Hi thank you very much for information. You said insurance Could you please tell me full comprehensive cost 250 per annum or third party?

11 litres per hour, at what speed? At displacement speeds ie pottering about the river I would have thought it would be more economical than that - well I hope so anyway, as I've just got one! I know at WOT it can be as high as 45lph

Way cheaper than renting a place

I wanted a boat for years, but I'm the kinda guy that craps in paper takeaway bags and breathes in the 'scent'

Every boat I've ever owned are money pits and you will never get your money back
