Stop trying to figure out how much it will cost, how fast it will depreciate or what will it cost to keep it up - if you want a boat, buy it and enjoy it. That's what you all do with cars - pay big bucks, drive it off the lot and lose your ass. Keep trading cars and you'll keep losing your ass. My theory is buy the car and boat you want and keep it for so long that cost and depreciation don't matter. I bought my '84 300CD Mercedes new in Nov '84 for $36,630 - is it worth that now - of course not - have I gotten my money's worth after 25 years - yep!! I bought Paloma many years ago for a lot of money - is she worth the big $$$ no that she's 30-years old - of course not - have I gotten my money's worth -yep!!
