I was blessed to have a Dad that was a great Mentor. I really learned a lot from him - he owned a machine tool business, was a pilot, owned a plane, and was an inland yachtsman. I turned out to be a mechanical engineer, pilot and boater just like him - I was Truly Blessed.
He always told me, "take the purchase price of your boat, and budget 10% per year for all expenses". His estimate has been real close with my 340, 410 and 58! Just sayin'...
My son is majoring in mechanical engineering.
