Hello all,
It was recommended in my boat search thread that I truly consider the cost of operating and maintaining a larger trawler. Here are my numbers, and peramaters given the intended boat being on the horizon:
52' single engine, FD hull.
Berth: $7500
US:
(Sacramento) slips: $500-750mo. incl. utilities (incl Wi-Fi)
Thailand:
$625mo. +utilities (15%mo?)
$625x12mo.=$7500 if always at a marina (365 days)
Insurance: $2500
1% per year
$2,500
Fuel: $1500
1.6-2.5 Gallons per hour at 6-8 knots per hour (if single* engine, 2x if dual engine setup)
Fuel capacity:1000-1500 gallons
1.6gph, 1000gal. is 666hrs. and 4.25mpg(?)
1000/4.25 = 4,250 miles
Full tanks = 4.49x1000=$4490 full tanks (US) –or- $3,120(Thai)
Cruisers use avg. 400 gallons per year(?), or $4.49x400=$1796 yearly fuel cost (US) $1248(thai)
4.25mpgx400gallons=1700 avg. miles travelled per year.
*these costs are based on single engine.
Maintenance: $8,000-$16,000
1-2% of new boat cost (seems that many avg. 1.1% of new, $8,800)
Total per Year: $19,500 to $27,500
...am I even on the ballpark?
