Cost is only one of the factors...storage and maintenance is the killer.

Re: How Much did your boat cost?

Not much, but my boat is primarily a tool. I "don't do" pretty boats. I buy and own ones that I can beat and use without stressing about every little nick and scrape.

In fact, the cameras that I use during shoots out of my boat, cost considerably more than the boat motor, accessories, etc.

Re: How Much did your boat cost?

My 12'er tinny with a trailer was $300 and I traded some work for the '86 johnson 9.9 I had on it. This year I got a new Tohatsu 9.8 for $1,600...almost 5 1/2 times the cost of the original boat!:eek: With the upgrades I've done to it over the years it's better outfitted than some that I see on CL for $2,500+.

My MFG was bought for $700 on ebay and so far I've spent an additional $(alot) on it's restoration. I'll never recoup the money spent on this one, but I plan on keeping her so it's ok...I think...:rolleyes:

Re: How Much did your boat cost?

I got my 2008 GT-185 3.0l new and have put just over 300 hours on it since picking it up back in march 08. Holiday Marine gave me a good deal out the door with aluminum trailer and taxed, titled... for just north of $20K. We're out on the lakes every weekend doing about 40-60 gps miles on the water and loving every minute of it. We took a break this weekend cuz the winds are gusting to 25 mph out of the east and it means 2-4 foot swells across the length of Harris. If they were out of the north, we'd be out there having fun wave jumping. East winds mean the entire lake is jacked up with little or no place to get out of the swells. :rolleyes:

!996 Astro w/force 120 everything runs and works well. Paid $100 dollars in a silent auction. I was the only one to bid. That was 8 years ago and i still have less than $500 in it.

700 for the 14' jet boat still broken but getting closer to a running rig, don't know on the 19' skiff-it was Frankensteined together from bits and pieces of other boats, the 24' sloop was 2500, and came with a nice Honda 9 horse 4 stroke, and the 40 beneteau sloop was a good bit pricier than the rest, 100,000+ odd spread i know

I just picked up a leftover '08 Monterey 180FS with SS package, 4.3 upgrade, SS package, satellite/mp3 radio, fiberglass floor, covers and a 2010 Loadrite trailer with disk brakes for $18.5k

Can't wait to actually take ownership in the spring when it comes out of storage. ;)

Re: How Much did your boat cost?

$3,200 for a very clean '97 Crestliner Sportfish... with a seized Johnson 115 Faststrike. It came with plenty of goodies (fish finder, trolling motor, life jackets, cover, etc.) but time will tell if it was the deal I am hoping it was. Looking to rebuild the Faststrike over the winter... if it proves to far gone I have an older, but running and FREE, Merc 120 to drop on there. The Merc would need going over top to bottom but maintenance is different from repair. ;)
