Boat ownership costs

My annual type costs for my 29 footer are: Haul / launch & step / unstep = $750 combined for both ways Town Mooring permit $20, registration fee $70, Mooring services spring and fall combined $200, insurance $387, gas & oil and maintnance parts about $100. This past spring I bought 2 new batteries $160. No loan on the boat.

That would be about a typical year, but I am not including moeny spent on non yearly boat maintenance and upgrades becuase I don't even want to know what that adds up to!

The costs above add up to around $1,700. Don't tell my wife.
