Okay, I'm not really in a position to buy this boat today, but I scheme and dream of making such a purchase some day. I wonder about balancing boat loan / insurance / charter income / maintenance-repair. . . .

So if it's not being too nosy, can I ask how much chartering income you could see in an average year?

[gbillman]

Difficult to layout entire algorhythm, but in general, after I paid full price for NEW boat, with 20% down, I had to sail her at least 2.5 weeks per year to break even (though that didn't include tax deductions/depreciation).

If someone were to buy the boat now, they would be able to make their mortgage payments alot easier...probably even multiple payments more throughout the year.

What are the engine hours? We hope to be in the market next month.
