Number of miles sailed: 374 (we're not passagemakers...yet.)

So, I figure that it cost me just a little more than $100/ "boat day" to enjoy my boat this summer, without getting fancy with hypothetical depreciation calculations, forward calculating maintenance, deducting one time costs such as purchase price and cradle, etc.
Let me get fancy here.

$9995.75 - $6000 boat - $1248 cradle = $2747.75 expenses the first year. (I expect your expenses next year will be less.)

Divided by 98 boat days gives $28.04 per day.

Not too shabby.
