I think your numbers sound realistic, although the insurance seems a bit low for the value of the boat. You will only need one haul out per year and bottom paint every two-three years around here. So I think the 10K/year upgrade maintenance is good unless the boat needs a lot of renovation (you might want to figure a bit higher for the first year). A lot will depend on your personality (and budget), if everything has to be "new" then you better up the $ figure substantially. If the boat is in really good condition and most things are OK for you the way they are you won't spend that much other than wear items and "toys".

SD- the moorage rates are about average for this area, I pay $3600yr for a 42' slip (year round, we sail 12 months here) at Blakely Island and about $2500 for a 30' in Anacortes.

Good luck with the new boat if you get it,

John
