Had the boat a year now and only put 80 hours on the Lehmans (run a B&B so can't disappear in the summer).

$1250 - fuel (includes genny and Dickinson Atlantic cookstove/heater)
$1000 - mooring (private buoy but $1000 to beef it up for the bigger boat)
$ 825 - insurance
$ 500 - annual DIY maintenance/haul/paint (prorated based every 2 years)

Only major system needs on the horizon is repair/replace the LectraSan or junk it and install a holding tank. And bronze McMurry windlass is high quality but the friction plates are starting to slip a bit. Company and main sales agent, Doc Freeman (Seattle) are both long gone so the search is on to find parts before it becomes non-op.
