aluminium boat
What type of boat incurs the lowest maintenance cost?
I would love to own a boat, but the more I talk to people who do, the more I get the impression that it is a frightfully expensive hobby to have. There must be boats that are very low maintenance though. What are they? Am I right in thinking that, theoretically, an aluminium launch with an electric motor and wind generators would be the least expensive kind of boat to own?
Boats are expensive to keep in good/safe working order. The smaller the boat, the lower the maintenance cost. The bigger the boat the higher the cost. Also, don't forget about the "Property Tax" that's paid every year on the boat too. On my 26' Express Cruiser, annual maintenance is $600 and the tax is $550 per year.
The least expensive boat to own is an inflatable from Walmart with oars. See below.
I also own a 60' Motor Yacht. It's a great live aboard and I'm self sufficient in the event of a major earthquake here in CA. You don't want to know my costs on that yacht! Plus I can travel to lots of places.
BTW, boating isn't a hobby. It's a LIFESTYLE!

Skua aluminium boat almost flipping
{ 2 comments }
The reason Wall-E fish are so hard to catch is because you are a lousy fisherman.
That and passing gas in an aluminium boat. DO you realize how loud that is under the water?!
Eyeteaguy
P.S. Don't eat fish because I can't eat fish. Allergic y'know.
I’m sorry but you are unfortunately wrong. Boats displace more water than they weigh, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they “weigh less than water”. Most boats have a higher average density than water, if they wouldn’t it would not be able to sink when you fill it up with water. For example, if you were to flatten out all the parts of an aluminium boat they would sink since aluminium is denser than water, and therefore weighs more.
