  You clearly haven't owned a boat to understand what "costs money" means. An expense that would have your average automobile owner up in arms about would be pocket change for even the smallest of boat system systems. And for the majority of boats out there this is a total non-issue as they're not even going to come close to having any of this integrated in any usefully hackable way. So unless you're talking about the 80'+ class of boats or megayachts things are still based on circa 1990's tech, at best. Even the big boats don't integrate all that much.
