Boats are notorious for being extremely expensive but that isn't always the case: watch to see how we owned our last boat at ZERO cost. Yes, for real.
*The boat paid for itself completely when we sold her. Certain costs were excluded, for example diesel and mooring costs. Read below to see why...
If you buy a car for 10k, use it for five years and sell it for 10k, it is reasonable to say that it cost you nothing, without counting how much fuel you put in it and how much your parking charges were. Therefore it is reasonable to do the same with a boat.
We often make a profit when we sell vehicles (We bought a 1981 Ford Transit campervan for 2k EUR, used it for years and drove all over Europe with it, then sold it for 4.8k EUR, while keeping the tandem bicycle which came with it...) and we have always managed to make a profit on every single boat purchase.
You make your money when you BUY, not when you sell. The key is finding a great boat and then negotiating in a very specific way.
We know mooring fees can be extremely expensive. But they don't have to be: We have a dedicated video about this on our channel...
We were very frugal with everything on this boat. We found great deals on everything, did all our own boat work, and this is not our first rodeo as we have been buying and selling boats for two decades.
We didn't even have a survey on this boat (or any other boat we have ever bought). This is another example of where we saved money where others probably won't - we recommend you always have a survey when you buy a boat.
Results not typical and caveat emptor!
