How much? So far…
Well from the day I contacted the previous owner to the day we actually owned the boat there were – obviously – a bunch of costs, some expected, some a bit unexpected, but nothing too onerous.
| Broker (10% cost to the seller) | $0 |
| Flights to Vancouver | $544.16 |
| Mechanical Inspection | $683.05 |
| Oil Samples (engine and transmission) | $115.90 |
| Boat Lift & Hold | $309.75 |
| Survey | $1126.65 |
| Rigging Inspection | $0 (broker supplied) |
| Insurance | $917 |
| Wire transfer fee | $80 |
| New boat lettering (license number) | $80 |
I anticipate that beginning immediately, I now owe moorage at Granville Island and we still have to facilitate the actual transfer of the boat which involves us flying out again, a hired skipper and moving her to her new moorage. (All costs shown are approximate.)
| Remainder of mechanical issues | $1500 |
| Granville Island moorage | $500 |
| Flights to Vancouver | $1000 |
| Hired Skipper | $400 |
| First month’s moorage | $456 |
| New boat graphics | $200 |
I will update these as the numbers change.
