The initial cost of the boat should not deplete your funds. You will have many reoccuring expenses that come up and will need to be budgeted for. Slip fees, monthy bottom cleaning service, insurance... the list goes on. My family and I used our catamaran one summer before SWMBO (she who must be obyed) insisted on A/C. Being the cheap pilot that I am I bought a Cruise air hatch unit and a new honda eu2000i. It works for me.
