As an educated "guess" how much does it cost annually to own and operate your boats, thinking of moving
up soon. Thanks Nick

It probably varies based on local shop rates, etc. You will use a slip for a 298. Here in Scottsboro, Alabama a 36' slip runs me $2,100 per year. Winterization, dewinterization, drive lubes, oil changes, generator tuneups, new anodes run me about $1,600 per year with haulout. Add around $200 for new impellors every other year and $2,000 for new bottom paint every 5 or six years.

My 1999 has cost me an extra $150 most seasons for one reason or another in getting the genny running smoothly.

I burn around 18 gph cruising around 24 mph @ $3.39 per gallon right now.

All in all, well within my budget.

Good luck. We moved up from a 1992 Sea Ray 270 5 years ago and love our nicer, larger cruiser!
