Save Money With Fineline’s Frequent Flyer Program!

Hey Gang,

I’ve had a lot of customers over the past few years who have thought about or even purchased a new boat so that they could get out on the water and do some fishing.

While this seems like a great idea at first, I wanted to point out (or refresh your memory if I’ve mentioned this to you before) that this may not be quite as good a deal as it sounds.

Let’s look at the realistic cost of owning your own boat in the 22 to 25-foot class.  These boats have an average price of around $90K to $140K at your local dealer. That’s a lot of money!!!! The average boat owner who works 40 to 50 hours a week uses the boat about twice a month or just 24 times per year.

So, let’s look a little closer at what you are getting yourselves into when you decide to buy a typical boat these days.

This is a “rough” MONTHLY cost estimate breakdown, for the average boat owner that lives in a H.O.A. community.  You can’t keep the boat at your house, so you will have to go back and forth- loading and unloading the boat EACH TIME- you get it out of a storage facility.

Remember these are “approximate” MONTHLY costs-your actual costs may be higher!!

Boat payment (based on a 15 year loan at 8%) $800-$1,200

Boat insurance=$100-$150

Outdoor Storage $250-$350

Indoor Storage=$400-$550

Marina dry stack Storage$550-$800

100 Hour Boat service=$700-$800 X twice yearly = $1,400 to $1,600 per year then divide by 12= $120 to $135 per month

“Other” boat maintenance plus labor @ $120 to $150 per hour. (bilge or baitwell pumps, lights, switches, etc.) $400-$800 per year then divide by 12= $35 to $65 per month

Trailer Maintenance (tire blow out, trailer bearing repacking, trailer lights, etc.) $300 to $800 per year then divide by 12= $25 to $65 per month

Bait, Ice, drink, food roughly $100-$200 per trip X 2 trips a month =$200- $400 per month

Boat fuel fill up (mid grade) based on 60-80 gallon tank @ $3.75 per gallon = $225 to $300 per fill up.

Total cost of boat ownership PER MONTH for the average 22 to 25-foot vessel runs a bare minimum of about $1,900 per month.  This number could be as high as $2,800 per month depending on your scenario.

On top of the cost for the boat,  you need a truck to pull the boat.  The average ½ ton pickup truck is going for around $60-$70K right now.  With this additional truck payment, you can add another $1000 per month to your ownership costs.  So, owning a boat is going to cost you at least $3000 more per month than you may be currently spending.

Remember that’s – PER MONTH!

Captain Justin and I can offer you a MUCH more cost-effective way to go fishing with your family, friends, (or if you need a business write off-employees and customers ) without the headache or extra expense of owning, insuring, maintaining, fueling, and CLEANING a boat for yourself.

But wait there’s more!!!… You get a full-time fishing guide to take you to the fish- at no additional charge!!!!

That can add up to over a $1000 SAVING per month if you fish with us!

The cost savings of booking your fishing charters with us is undeniable, so let captain Jim or Captain Justin be your “monthly boat payment” this year.
