As long as you don't pay into California's gas and electric, or fuel companies, you'll be okay. SSSSuuuucckkksss!!!!!!! That 600.00 additional expense per month came from my play money! Guess you gotta pay to play.
One more thing.....As in any hobby, boating is not an investment. It is; however, a lot of fun and memmories for all of us.
Start small, then "GO BIG" dude.
Never go partners either. Someone always gets screwed. But, I would go in as partners on a boat with my dad....Only because I know he'd never use it.
I don't mean to sound bitter. Just as everyone has said, there a lot (expense) to owning a boat and keeping your priorities in check.
