I don't spend that much on maintenance every year, but I doubled what you have this year. Most years I just pay for filters and oil and a few randoms so call it a couple hundred.
This year I put on an all new suspension and axle (just parts). Got a new lower unit (SEI) and had all water cooling passages walnut blasted. Its a 2002 I bought used 4 years ago and I flush every trip.
I currently store my boat in Houston for $60/month outdoors, but looking to stash it indoors in Dickinson/San Leon for $93/month on a 6 month contract.
I generally burn about $25-$50 in boat gas a trip plus the 100 mile round/trip from Houston (Garden Oaks) to Texas City or Hitchcock. I tow from Houston, but looking to keep it down there as I end up fishing East or West Bay 90% of the time, which is my childhood stomping grounds.
I'm on an 18' Gulf Coast Classic with a 150 VMAX.

How often do you go? I live within 5 miles of you. Happy to tow your boat and cover your gas - like use my credit card to fill up your tank after a trip, not throw you $5.
I'm 2 months from buying a boat, just trying to figure out what this will really cost me - 3x was one response
really i hope that wouldnt be entirely true
