    Boat market somewhat resembles the housing market at the moment. It's gone crazy.

    lol that's what I thought. Saw it at the field days and thought $80/week payments seemed doable, and bingo in for a penny, in for many thousands That's how ya go from a surfcaster to a boat owner

    Two good days when you own a boat. The day you buy it and the day you sell it.

    Re: Boat costs. I've been a fisherman all my life. Like most, I started out from the shore/rocks/wharves plus the occasional trip on charters or friend's boats. In 2010, I got my first kayak, a fairly basic model. It was a game changer, both in terms of catching fish and enjoyment. Years later, when I dropped $2k on my first proper fishing kayak, it seemed like a frivolous waste of money, but again enjoyment and catching increased as I was able to push further offshore and was more comfortable. I've no doubt, those years of kayaking were a cost neutral exercise in terms of fish brought home, so easily justified. As time went on, I was pushing further offshore and it was getting a bit silly and downright dangerous at times. In 2015, I bought my jetski. Another game changer, it made fishing almost too easy, but when I did the maths, it was never going to make sense financially. You could never eat enough fish to cover fuel, insurance and servicing, never mind initial outlay, but I've had some epic experiences that you can't put a price on. Roll on 2021, I have a keen 7 year old boy and a wife who want to share in the experiences. Two of us can fish from the jetski, but it's not ideal for obvious reasons, so boat ordered. The cost is enormous! Totally unjustifiable outside the reasons already given, but you only live once! In short, if fishing/diving/boating are your thing, literally something you base our whole life around then go for it. On the other hand, if a boat is something that is only going to be used half a dozen times a year, then it is a huge waste of money.
