Depending upon what condition you wish it kept in and what breaks, a lot more than you can anticipate.

In my opinion if the purchase price represents more than 50% of your "boat budget" you're gonna have a hard time enjoying boating.

Hiring out a simple oil change on that boat is an almost full day job for twin CAT's and the genny. By the time the mechanic buys the parts, gets them to the boat, pumps the oil out and gets it off the boat without spilling, to the dock and his truck to dispose. You say you will DIY the cleaning but do you have a clue how hard it is to wax 42' of boat?

A lot to think about
