You guys are just lucky you don't have boats to worry about annual maintenance.Last boat: 2005 Silverton 34 Convertible with twin 6.0 Crusader engines, each one takes 7.5L 5W30, two fuel filters and one oil filter, plus water pump impeller. Total cost about $500.Present boat: 1985 Cooper Prowler 10M-SD with twin Volvo AQAD40b diesel engines, each one takes 11L 10W40, two fuel filters and one oil filter. Total cost about $500, only because water pump impellers don't have to be changed annually. Cost for those is $325 each.Not to include winter storage cost ($650), summer marina dock rental ($2200), fuel costs at 1.5 mpg with the diesels, 1 mpg with gas.I've cut back on the boating to do more Corvette driving!
