- In this video we tell you the TRUE expenses of owning a boat. How we bought a 16 year old boat for $16,500 and now have $100,000 into it. My dad and I sit down with you and tell you almost all the expenses our boat has incurred over the last 5.5 years of us owning it. We've kept a detailed ledger of every expense and time we've used the boat.
Our boat is a 2002 247 Edgewater

When I'm 90 years old and the nurse in the retirement home is changing my diaper, I don't want to look back and think "I wish I had bought a boat" You can't take it with you, but you can make priceless memories with your family and friends. Truly worth every penny.
I had a boat for 5 years never came close to spending that,,,5 years of slip fees,,,I have a motor home,,,samething,,,its nice that they kept good records to let people know,,,but your right you cant take it with ya👍👍
Michael Campbell, so well said. Life is to live and those who have never spent a day on the ocean fishing, diving exploring, sightseeing, snorkeling, etc. have never lived.
Or if you put $100,000 in a money market account in 7yrs it will double, ive allways wanted a boat but I don't like debt, I see you have to know how repair yourself or his book would probably read $200,000.
@@michaels8775 Yep the stock market always just goes up,right? A lesson is heading your way.
@@DIYDaveT I didn't say that it allways goes up but average 30yr history is 12% thats making money, been wanting a boat forever but when I see videos like this its just don't right depressing. And the prices of new boats over $100,000 can't be justified and with that new American policy implemented by biden usa last this country gonna suffer and a boat will be the 1st to go. 2-3mpg @$5 a gal for fuel thats horrible. What do u get for investment some memories
Your dad nailed the reason why I want a boat so badly. The price of owning a boat will never replace the memories made or the food caught!
As long as you really do enjoy it so many buy them and never use them. Not what they thought and they just sit never being used you got to really enjoy water and the work that is involved with owing one I bet most end up sorry. And taking a big lost at the end. I know it not for me that is for sure. I would buy something cheap at first and make sure it what you want. Even the people that I know that love boating got sick of the money that’s involved. For this guy the money might not be a big deal but most got to think about it.
"Worth every penny!!"
Good vido Brook and happy new year wish u all ur dream come true i love u so much
Honestly, $15k a year for EVERYTHING really is not that bad.
To be honest when you leave the boat in the water you are putting a rapid time clock on the boat life from mechanical to fiber glass being scorched in the sun. But hey it is what it is..🤗
🤨 Just think what your $$ number would be if you had to keep it at a marina 🤨
You need to get a boat lift so you won't have to bottom paint your boat anymore. Best thing ever.
By the way Brooke, you have the most amazing Dad in the world. I am very envious lol.
Jon Draper shit ! I was thinking the same ! The dude rocks ! I’m going to check this channel out !
The dude rocks !!
Most detailed 5yr list I've seen....most guys dont keep record because if the wife found out just how much was actually being spent on boat ownership, he would be fishing from land. Lot of money, but family and enjoying time together is priceless.
This is the BEST video about boat ownership that I have seen. I share a boat with 3 friends and we opened a bank account just for boat expenses. We put $250.00 each per month. We also use that money for our rod, reel and bait bills too.
I always keep a fishing log but never have kept record of the expenses for the exact opposite reason you kept yours - I don’t want to know!
XRP ayday Smart!
You can't put a price on the intangible factors. The joy of being with your family on the water is priceless.
I grew up on a ski boat and I have the most amazing memories. I’m 28. My husband and I bought our first boat 5 months ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. My daughter is 4 and just loves it. I can’t wait to teach her water sports next summer!
I too purchased a used boat a year ago, 2004 HydraSports Vector 2400cc, after a year long search and struggle between buying new or used. Plan was to fish it for a year then do some upgrades..........after starting to add new spreader lights.......ended up with all new wiring, lights, electronics, radios, antennas, all new pumps and hoses and finally a repower from an 04 Yamaha 300 HPDI to twin 2019 Honda BF150s. After doing all the work, except repower, ourselves, I’m all in at around 90k, no liens and couldn’t be happier, the Vector is a Beast of a Hull and everything else but the toilet and trailer is new. This is my first offshore boat and we’ve enjoyed several great fishing trips since the repower in September and I’m looking forward to many great trips to come! Love your videos, you’ve got awesome friends and family! Have a great 2020!
Definitely a very cool Dad. He has passed on to his family, a joy for life and appreciation of being together. ❤
You guys are great, your blessed to have one another. It’s refreshing to see the costs from such a “nuts and bolts” perspective. Thanks
This is a dose of reality a lot of people need. Bought our boat for $1900 and we will have $10,000 into it soon and you wouldn't be able to tell at all just by looking at it.
Doesn’t sound too bad, and again your Dad is great! Priceless memories! My dad is 91 and our best memories probably were on our boats.
Brook I know you already know this but your dad has an awesome attitude about life. You are blessed to have such a positive person in your life.
Brooke's dad is a very rich man, and I don't mean money. I'm following his lead, just bought my first boat.
I am a fisherwoman here from *Brazil,* I love your fishing videos they are amazing Congratulations!👍🎣❤
your old man really loves you and he's such a fun and loving guy! y'all are both so lucky to have him in your life
The best thing about this video and the other videos is all the love you have for one another. Your dad reminds me of my dad. He’s no longer with us but he had a teaching heart. He worked hard at his job and then only wanted to do things with his family. All the best. Jim from Georgia.
You guys seem like nice folks 👍
BTW I believe we passed you and Victor yesterday afternoon on our way back from lobstering... 14 lobster (3 people) and a dozen lionfish 👍
We were out there yesterday! Wow nice haul!!
Hi Brooke you had the most supported father, the best father of all the whole world. I do missed your grandma. God bless everybody. Working together in the boat, is the happiest moment, that you share to us. Is a big help to us. Thank you so much. God bless
This is an amazing video on the cost of owning a boat. I’ve been looking for something like this to help me decide on a pre- owned vs a new boat. Thank you
During the Covid pandemic, I watched almost all youtub movies you made! I feel that there is so much love in your whole family! Your dad's teaching how to moor the boat safely and his joy when you tell about the diary where everything is written how the boat was used and all the expenses. I wish you all the blessing of God.
Bill from Sweden
Love It!! Boats are the most fun for the whole family. I can't imagine what I have spent over the years on fishing, hunting, dirt track racing, etc. But it was all so much fun and that's what families Should Do! I'm too chicken to keep tabs! lol
This is an amazing look into what it takes to maintain a nice boat and what it takes to keep it up. I am sure that if you factor in the worth of what all you have caught in this time it would offset the cost dramatically. It is awesome how y'all have kept track of that for such a long time. I love this channel just as much as Vic's. Keep up the great content!
Found your channel as I was looking for information on boat ownership. Took my kids out this weekend in kayaks and realized that there is a whole world out there that we have been missing out on. This video has been the only one that broke down the cost of ownership in such practical detail. Thanks for putting it together. Subbed!
the blessings of having so much money, hopefully one day i'll get a boat and spend so much money on it in order to make memories with the family
Loved this video! It's an honest depiction of boat ownership costs that help give me a better idea of what to expect when its time for me buy a family boat one day. I am truly inspired now to make that happen if I could have even half the fun that your family enjoys! Thanks for sharing...God bless!!!
Any size boat gives out a decent amount of money, but if it a dream or lifestyle it's not a waste. It's worth it if done the right way! Love all the details to know and be showed for a boat owner does help with anyone looking to get into a boat.
Even for someone like me who has money and don't bother spending any amount on my yatch or my sea life, this video was still fun. This was all about how much love and enthusiasm you guys had for your boat and sea life than how much on what you spent on.
A good idea to reduce the waxing frequency is to get the entire boat Ceramic Coated. Its makes a huge difference in keeping it clean and looking amazing. Its a well worth expense that lasts for years and makes the boat actually shine and look great also. It also helps with the bottom and keeping it in the water all the time. Because its literally a sealed barrier that's 100x better and harder than was. Its completely sealed and I have friends that have done it and say they will never go back.
Great video! I commend your discipline to actively log all of the maintenance records, gas and trip details. I just purchased my first Flats boat and you guys have motivated me to do it now. Love your channel and have learned a lot watching. Looking forward to future videos!
Love the idea of keeping a book! I only have a 16' aluminum skiff, and I think i am going to start doing the same!
That was great! Who'd have thought going through expenses would be something I'd watch, but it was really great!
Haha thanks Tim!
Only 100k. Imagine if you had to Trailer back an forth from your house. Or pay Marina fees. An buy trailer tires. Y'all got off cheap.
You are 100% correct
Yep. I have a 26' Striper WA at a marina and it's $2600/yr they don't have to pay. Pricele$$
I live in ny it can be ass much as 200 per foot for marina fees
Awesome video , this is the truth behind boating 🛶. But, hanging out with the family making memories is priceless.
Brook and family, my husband and I really enjoy your videos. I’m glad we found your channel.
You should go through and add up how many of each fish you caught and how many lobsters. Id be interested to know a calculation of how much your food ended up costing. Id also consider paying for entertainment.
Movies cost $13 for 2 hrs. So if it were me, for entertainment alone id figure 7.50/person/hour.
Youd have to also include just a rough estimate for whatever bait/equipment.
Wow Interesting idea!
I don't own a boat, but wish I did! Thanks for the money rundown! We lived on the water in Cuba, we had a summer house by the ocean, my dad had a little boat. Yes, I miss it very much. It's very expensive owning a boat here in Miami. Maybe in my next life. Have fun because I am enjoying it just as if I was there with you guys! Thanks for sharing.
CRAZY! But there is no doubt that boats are expensive. Way to keep records off all this, very interesting video, with tons of knowledge thrown in!
Thank you for the detailed information. It’s funny I’ve been watching a lot of cost of ownership videos and boats
Such a great father daughter video. You guys are great!
This is why I sold mine and bought a kayak and never looked back. Cheaper and a lot more fun!
So cool to have these records. Whoever gets that boat next will be getting a great boat..
One day that log book will be a wonderful way to remember friends and family. Sounds like money well spent.
This was valuable and needed detailEd information for anyone who is a 1st time boat purchaser.
Great video. I'll be buying a saltwater boat in 12-18 months. This does a good job framing what I may be looking at for O&M costs.
That's great. I always say you have the coolest dad and after this video its confirmed. I spend so much on camping stuff, but all the memories I have made with my family make it seem like pennies. Memories are priceless.
You guys did it the right way, dropping a $100k++++ on a brand new one is crazy if you use the best, you will beat it death.
Having one with some age is perfect.
Dad you said it, gotta keep those kids safe when they go 20 miles off shore, Can't put a price on that. Stay safe and thanks for the Video.
My biggest adventure was running out of gas on Lake Russell which is between South Carolina and Georgia, with help from a good samaritan, we got back home by 9:00pm, the way y'all stay out in the open ocean, your doing the right thing, I wouldn't risk it, you only have one family, you're doing everything perfectly, stay safe and God bless...
Almost home by dinner time! Thank god for the Good Samaritan! Thank you
@@brookcristoutdoors yes definitely, our nieces were toddlers at that time and started to get upset, thank God absolutely.
We're up in Alaska, and will be fishing mostly out of Seward. We just bought our first boat. We bought a 22' C-Dory Classic (angler). We've already spent a grand on it before even taking it out just on little things. We still need to do the oil change, spark plugs and impeller.
Luckiest daughter in the world 😩 your dad is awesome
Enjoyed your Dad interacting with you. Oh I missed you cooking this time
Leaving the boat in the water continuously cost you a lot more than you think - continuous contact with salt water leads to rapid corrosion of almost everything - including the gas tank and all wiring. You should invest in a simple lift mechanism for your dock. this is why so many owners use them.
Love the father daughter duet! Awesome sauce! 👌
400 BUCKS FOR A WAX JOB TO USE DADS BOAT FOR 5.5 YEARS and all the memories priceless! I love watching you guys.
priceless . a good time with the family. has no price 😀 monney well spent
Just started watching you guys. This was the best video because it gave me an honest account of boat ownership. Scary in a way but you can’t put a price on fun with family.
You should do a video adding up the value of all the fish and lobster using grocery store prices to see how much money in food you got!
Thank You! A CPA on-board can wreak havoc to this hobby. Probably why nobody shares the nitty gritty like you do.
New Cummins Diesels 90,000, New Simrad electronics, 18,500, New Canvas 7,500 ...++++++.... As your dad said - "Time on the water - PRICELESS!" Great video.
I'm sure it's not $100k, but I wonder what the total amount of fish in dollars you caught is. You could technically subtract that from your grocery bill and reduce that from the cost of the boat. With the cost of fish you might be surprised how much it takes off.
Your dad is a really great person Brook! Great ledger you guys kept, more prosperity for 2020💯 keep up the good work #TailsUp
Love how you kept all the records and the video of replacing the gas tank. Really interesting, I watched it to the very end. Love all your videos!
I have the same relationship with my daughter! We bought a boat and I hope my daughter will be like you! She also loves the water and is very helpful. :)
It's worth it! Fun times for you and your family!
This is the type of person I want to buy my boat from!
No relation to Mat ( below ) I find this episode to be very informative and also I enjoy all your videos. I lived in Pompano for 22 years and left there 30 years ago. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for the memories. Love your and Vic's channel . Good on ya.
2000 Edgewater 247 center console in the process of tank replacement. The tank replacement video will end up saving me a lot of money because I will know how to communicate with boat mechanic.
My girlfriend wanted a boat but got a boyfriend with one which turned out cheaper. You rebuilt the boat but you guys use your boat which most people don’t, so money well spent. Interesting. You guys make a living from fishing. At least on you tube. Great videos. Again thank you.
I think the most expensive part there is the happy moments together with love ones, stress relieve etc.. money couldn’t buy❤️
Boat with lots of good memories. Thumbs up Brook!
Good thing y'all UA-cam, keep living, fishing and enjoying life!
Great video. I've never owned a deep water boat. I have mixed feelings of relief and regret about that.
Its so cool you keep a ledger. wish i was that responsible!
Wow, very interesting video . I am thinking twice now to own a boat. One suggestion is instead of keeping record in the book, you could save it in electronic document in phone, tablet, or pc. It has several advantages. For example, you could search yellow tails, then it will shows you in a second instead of minutes. You could print the whole record if you want. You can back up the record and don't need to worry about losing it. Etc. You got my point
Looking a boat now. Might go for a brand new boat after your video.
Had no clue of all the parts and pumps, costs etc. Thanks for sharing all the granular details. Really helpful 👌
The insurance coverage of the gas tank was well worth watching this video... wow, thank you
Brian you also own a Centre console. It is the only large water craft I would own. You have a better feel steering from the Centre and I always found they handled heavier weather without wallowing! I used to run a centre Console from SC, it was 17 feet but it handled all the weather tossed at me. I had a 70hp Johnson O/B as well as a Honda kicker. I should never have sold it!
Not sure what happened to my comment, but I loved this video so thank you for making it! Super informative and great memories for sure ♥️ Love your dad too 🤗
100k is pennies compared to the priceless memories!!! Great job and great family!! Bless y’all!!!
Just an idea for yall to consider....my All State boat insurance is significantly cheaper and includes Tow Boat US and Roadside Trailer Assistance too. I only insure for $5k and it costs about $200/yr but it may be worth looking into!
nice video super not flashy yet best video no sun no rainbow of all.
Brook I appreciate the efforts you and your dad put out thumbs up👍
All the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 keep up the good work and keepon making memories with the family 😉
Started following yours and Viks channel. Moving to Florida and looking to get a boat pretty close to this price range. This video was so informative.
Best dad ever!!! Hey, I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I just realized that I was not subscribed, so I just did it.
Your dad is a very smart man. Love your family
Looking at buying my first real boat, I like knowing numbers. Thanks for the vid and Dad is always right!
Fun times with Family and friends is priceless.
I was going to buy used but this video convinced me to buy new.
Keeping an expense log is an excellent idea. You know exactly where your money is going
I know you did this video a while back, but I just watched it and have to say you and your dad did a great job. My question is how much did you save not having to buy fish in 5 years?
Great break down on owning a boat. I'm like Brian, get it replaced right so that your boat doesn't leave you hanging. Yeah, you can get by for a little while "jerry rigging" stuff, but in the long run, seems to cost more.
crazy how much you guys have spent, but i guarantee its worth all those good times! love the channel brook!
Repowering the boat twice seems abit steep to me, but loved the video and glad for all your good times in the boat!
We only repowered once to the Suzuki 300 from the original Yamaha 225
Brook Crist Outdoors sorry I misunderstood then, I thought you did once to the Suzuki, and then again to a New Suzuki, my bad :(
Enjoyed the vid and keep up the good work!
I have owned my share of boats over the years. I never kept records like you did , great Idea I think but I have had so many good times I don't regret any money I have ever spent. You can't put a price on great family and friend times and memories. Money well spent. I think if you purchase a boat you should be prepared to spend some money, just how it is. Start small and work your way up if you have limited finances, I have enjoyed ever boat I have ever owned that would include my 12 foot car topper back in the early 70s . Your on the water with friends and family having fun and making memories. Take care
This was a good honest video. I have had similar issues with my boat. I am a mechanic so I do a lot of the work myself. However it all adds up. But I would trade a min of the time I get to enjoy it with my friends and family.
My brother had a 35 foot cruiser. He sold it three years after the purchase. Between the initial cost, insurance, fuel (marinas always cost more), covered slip, having it taken out of the water in the fall and put back in come spring, it was a money pit. The old saying is true...best two days of owning a boat? Day you buy it and day you sell it. Or...definition of a boat? A hole in the water into which you pour money.
