Budget
Having faced the choice and defined the type of boat that best suits one’s needs, inevitably, one must talk about one’s portfolio. The number one factor to keep in mind is: don’t just look at the purchase price. In fact, in addition to the initial expense, many additional expenses must be taken into account, including routine maintenance, refit work, appraisals, mooring, and insurance. A good rule? Set aside at least 20% of the projected cost for any extraordinary maintenance and unforeseen expenses. But don’t limit yourself to these points,
