I've learned a lot from this forum over the years, but this is one of the best threads I've ever read. This year, we are finally starting to spend some extended time on the boat and I've been pondering this same subject.
I agree Excel is the easiest to setup and will require the least time imputing data to keep it current. I've used it for my maintenance records and fuel log for years. I've just downloaded the new MS suite for the iPad and it seems to be working fine. This now makes keeping my records even easier, especially if you're using cloud storage. I used to keep written notes until I turned on the computer and invariably something would not get entered into the computer. Not that I can update it on the iPad, I'm more inclined to do it right away.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, this is the forum at its best!!!
