I have to totally disregard the monthly re-occurring cost as they are individual in nature depending on your boat and payments, same with slip rental and insurance.
We use Quicken to manage our house hold expenses and categorize nearly every purchase. We only pulled like 700 bucks in cash this past year - everything else is debit card and therefore traceable. What that means is I have a REALLY good idea of exactly what it costs maintain our boat, which is a 2007 Gemini Catamaran so it goes more on toys and less on repair right now. Next year I'm opening a separate account so I'll know even better; all boat stuff will be on the one card, and nothing else.
Bottom line, we sink about 6k a year into the boat, haul outs included (haul out is 500, plus 250 a month for 6 months on the hard). That's everything from diesel to D-rings for canvas work.
That doesn't include 1300 a month in payments, 2500 a year in slip, 860 a year in insurance or food and beverages consumed on board.
