Yup. That is the "gotcha!" that many people just do not seem to grasp. My own rule of thumb (having had several boats) is to put aside an equal amount as the purchase price (of course I am talking about used boats, never having been able to afford a new one). This has worked pretty well so far. So if I want to buy a $50K boat then there is also another $50K in the savings account. If it does not get used, then so much the better. But some of it
always get used!
