It's incredibly cheap, but you need to spend some time doing boat-things like painting fixing rust, etc. Timewise it's probably comparable to a house.
I bought the boat in Holland for around $50.000 in cash and spent around $10.000 fixing it up with insulation, heating, toilet etc. So basically all I pay now is marina rent ($100 a month) and diesel for heating and electricity.
This is in Copenhagen btw.
- Crito 13y agoOh wow, that is extremely reasonable. I'll have to spend some more time researching this.
- mixmax 13y agosend me a mail if you have any questions - it's in my profile.
- _delirium 13y agoConsidering the cost of a room in a shared apartment in Copenhagen is nearing $800 these days, that's pretty impressive, and relevant to my interests.
- zyxley 13y agoIs this a houseboat, power boat, sailboat? I've heard benchmarks of general maintenance for sailboats (even freshwater, ignoring the additional corrosive effects of salt air) that add up to several thousand dollars a year even when brand new (hull cleaning, paint, dockline replacements, the many many small parts that need to be replaced every few years to stay in seaworthy condition, etc). I'm curious how your experience compares.
