Charting Boating Costs

Dammit Marin - you've been reading my mail again. My last haul-out - ostensibly for just antifoul and insurance inspection, (which required just the stern tube sleeve be replaced, ha ha), in the end, entailed a new muffler, propshaft, stern tube packing, and the sleeve of course, and what with that and the antifoul, came to a tad over $8000........! But it's all meant to be fun, and we are going out tomorrow in her for the long (Labor Day weekend here is Aus), so yippee....haven't been out in her since Feb 25th, so rarin' to go....now where should we head for....?
Absolutely agree with virtually everything else you all said, and if I ever wonder whether it's all worth it, I just think for a minute about what else I would rather do with my time...or money....NUS-SSING !
