$0.........used the Mag once........

 

I filled the Formula twice and have a half tank now. Have no idea what it cost, didn't pay any attention to it!

 

I had a cheap year, oh thats right Ive been boatless all summer :unhappy1: put around 500 in my fathers boat to cruise around

 

We have friends with a sail boat.

They claim there is more gas in the tank now than at the beginning of the season and didn't add any to the tank!

:laugher:

 

I have never, and will never, total up how much fuel I burn in a boat. The boat needs fuel, I give it fuel. I run out of rum, I buy more rum, same thing.

I am afraid to add up how much I spend on fuel and rum

 

I keep all my receipts so I can get the fuel tax refund Virginia offers to recreational boaters.

I will let you know when I'm done boating. I know it's way more than you though.

 

@$7500.00

 

When you start tracking fuel costs, is when you start thinking about changing hobbies.

 

I put about 70 hours on the boat this year.

Idle = 2.5 GPH, wide open=30 GPH.

sooooooo 20x70=1400

1400*3.30 (premium on land) = $4620 ish?

Wow, didn't realize I spent that much...I Coulda bought a quad, car, motorcycle, snowmobile, etc hahha

 

Motor came out 3 times this summer which limited me to about 50 hours running. Roughly 1,500 galons at $3+- a gallon is $4,500.00. I'll be filling her tomorrow AM for one last weekend trip and she's done for the year. :unhappy1:

 

935 miles on GPS divided by 1.3 mpg average = 716 gallons X average $2.70 per gallon (89 octane) =$1933 give or take a little(probably give) :laugher: :laugher:

Hey , I never saw a Brinks truck following a Hearse. In other words , you can't take it with you

 

I DO NOT want to know! :dead1:

I put on about 55 hours so I'm sure it's a good chunk. As much as I would love to have a bigger boat with twins I think the gas would kill me. Unless I can find a hot little sugar momma! LOL

I couldnt agree more on all accounts!!!!

Last summer I ran 2,450 miles...also with 540's, I really don't want to calculate that one!!!

 

I would venture to guess I spent about 6 or 7 thousand on just fuel.

 

Thats a number I will never add up !!!!!!!!

Its $200 to run downtown and back,,,,,,and it just gets farther from there !!!!!!

 

This is just making me Sick,thinking about it.

 

Roughly $4,700 on Fuel, $700 on boose, $600 on Food (we cooked on the boat nearly every weekend, so not too many restaurant fees), $8,500/yr payments and ins. for a rough grand total of almost $15,000/yr on this hobby - WOW, first time I've ever figured out how much this hobby really costs me, maybe it's time for a new hobby

Geeze, and the wife wants to know why we can't take 2 tropical vacations a year :laugher:

I think I read somewhere in a boating magazine about an artical for people wanting to get into boating but were concerned about the cost. In a nutshell, the article said to roughly double the payment for actual cost of ownership.....not too far off in my case.

 

I keep all my receipts so I can get the fuel tax refund Virginia offers to recreational boaters.

I will let you know when I'm done boating. I know it's way more than you though.

i did not know about a fuel tax refund for rec boating in your state...sounds like thats a good thing!

 

It was a cheap year considering I only made it out 5 times all summer. If I had to guess probably about $700-$800.00 in fuel for the boat.

 

Never really kept track but I'd dump $500.00 in it each Weekend and used it about 15 weekends this year plus some vacation time so I guess about $7,500 - $8,000

 

I won't even add it up, I just know I have run out of money and its time to put the boat away.

 

I think we estimated it to be about $2500 a trip out and we only went out about 6-7 times...

 

I stick the hose in the hole and close my eyes. I pay cash so I am not reminded of what I spend. It also keeps my wife from yelling at me.
