I spent less than a grand last summer since I spent most of it waiting for parts for the new motor which I blew to much money on.

Take make things worse, here are some misc facts for everyone:
$2500 invested at the beginning of each boating season, for 20 years at 7% return would accumulate to $109,663 at the end of year 20.
$3000 would accumulate to $131,595
$4000 would accumulate to $175,461
Don't tell the wife that!!!

Anyways, after taxes and inflation your numbers would be materially smaller. I did like your idea about using the data on the wife though.

I don't even like to think about those things. When people ask if boating is expensive,,, I tell them it holds 100 gallons, and that's not even two full dyas a fuel and watch there jaws drop,,,, damn land lubbers just don't get it !!! The Baja is 4 years old with 550 hours on it, gas was over $2.00 here for some time,,,, I honestly don't even want to know !!!!!
