Working on the presumption that your kitty after buying a $300,000 boat is still at least $300,000 ? If not consider paring back the price of the boat. You'll be better off having less boat and more available spending money. Remember that no matter what you buy something is guaranteed to go wrong which will dig further into your kitty.

As an example of this our little hole in the water was surveyed before buying and given a clean bill of heath. However we have since found that the swages on the stays are faulty and we are about to embark on a complete re rig. When it comes to boats, what can go wrong , will go wrong and cost a bundle to fix.
