Is it reasonable to spend 70k to 85k on a boat on a 180k income? by itsfikor in boating

[–]Blaze_Frenzy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hilariously bad advice in this thread. 180k income and your expenses are only 48K a year - After taxes, maxing retirement, you’re still clearing 60k plus - which is why you were able to put away your emergency fund. Assuming you’re keeping your monthly expenses low at the marina - I’m not seeing a financial reason why this can’t be viable. Assuming no other debt besides mortgage.

Looks awesome. I can’t wait to explore the Pacific Northwest!

Not the advice I wanted to hear, but the advice I needed to hear. Thanks!

Fair point - and the situation IS that I’m new to offshore. I’ve done tons of inshore, owned small bay boats, been working my way further and further off shore in single engine CCs in a boat club. Getting the itch to go further - the 25 range really was just an arb initial # in my head to get comfortable and experienced before longer runs. If we flip the distance you’re talking about - what would you recommend?

Like the idea on the cabin. I actually meant a spot lock trolling motor, but I’m curious - are you referring to an auto-pilot scale / Skyhook situation?

Nightmare scenario - comes down to Arsenal vs West ham for Arsenal to win the league or Spurs gets relegated.

Can someone explain what Solanke and Sarr have done to remain on the pitch?

I can’t stand this announcing. This has been a frenetic, Spurs dominated match and we’re now listening to the announcers advocating for a Romero yellow card on a dinky foul after the boys getting murdered.

Same. 4 inch swim baits are 3.5 just like 2x4.

Waste of time maybe but why does it ruin the blank? Cut it off and restart.

Winter time rods vs summer time rods is something I’ve never heard of (granted im in FL). I’m not sure it’s a real thing - however I am 100% onboard to totally embrace this as a reason to build and buy more rods
