Stare at boat in yard under tarp all winter. Free
Pull the tarp the last week of March and charge batteries. $1.00
Go through boat and make list of things to do to get ready for the season. 3cents
Drop boat off to the mechanic to have work done. $10
Get a phone call to take a ride up and have a look at the electrical that has been eaten by the salt water. PRICEY!!!!
WTF!!!!!!

sorry to hear about the electrical problems quint. It will be money well spent when your are nailing the stripers, fluke, sea bass, black fish and all the other yummy fishes I left out.
My last attempt at the canyons in the fall, 1 of my buddy's transmissions went right as we left Montauk. We had just put 3K in fuel in his boat and bought about 500$ worth of bait, ice and rigging. Only to have to turnaround and limp back to Noank.
He had a rough season last year. His boat sank on land. Meaning when he went to check on his boat there was close to 8000 gallons of water in it. He had to rebuild his engines, replace all 10 of his batteries, new generator and a ton of cosmetic stuff. Insurance didn't pick up nearly as much as you would expect. He is still battling it out with them.
He has about 30k tab outstanding with his marina and still needs to rebuild his trany which will be around 10k. Ahh, the joys of owning a 40' sport fish.

Fishing from land is ugly. I only do it 3 hours a year, when I take my 4 year old to a local trout derby in town, it is all I can stand. Being stuck in 1 spot, and having to fish with yahoos all around you, casting over your line, even if you move around it is aggrivating.
Nothing like being in your own boat, you can go where the fish are and it's your own fault, and nobody else's if you don't catch em. The cost of owning a boat far out weighs fishing without one, fresh or saltwater.

Well of course I'd rather fish from a boat, but the difference it that I can't afford one. So I make the best of the situation. Land fishing is better than no fishing at all. I've been fishing from land for the past 17 years. I get by, but it would be nice to get out on a boat.
