I bought a Logbook just after buying my boat. But after a couple of weeks did not bother with it. Instead, I then put date, engine hours, fuel used, distance and destination in a notebook. Every day or two I enter that into a spreadsheet where I can, and do, simple analysis.

Subsequently I added fuel purchases. The spreadsheet also has a maintenance log of oil changes and anode check/replacement, haulout and antifoul. By keeping it pretty simple it isn't a chore.
