I've heard that a good approxiation is 10-15% of the capital cost for a 10-15 year boat (excluding borrowing costs but including upgrade / replacement costs). My first year the number was 18% (1st year costs are always higher) and last year it was 14%.
Have fun

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
