No one told you.  They don't call a boat a hole in the ocean you throw money into for nutin. That is why I use my 14' tin boat way more than my 19' glass boat, less cost. P. |

If you are not the tinkering type or do not have a ton of money owning a boat might not be for you, But, if you' re willing to do basic upkeep, maintanance can be kept at a minimum. One you start boat fiishing you can't stop, it is an addiction, and to me it is more peacefull, especially since all my shore spots are over crowded.

That's why we have 6 months of winter! Except for Clammer
Otherwise, we'd fish year round.

Enjoying Life !

That's the nice thing about having a smaller boat. Less maintenance.
The boat is in the garage, so no storage costs. Service the engine each year. Wash it off when I come back in. Run freshwater thru the engine.
No anti-fouling paint needed. Low exposure to salt vs. mooring or slip.
Trailer lights and trolling motor plug are my only consistent troubles. That is pretty minor.
There are definitely times I'd like a bigger boat, but not at maintenance time.
