MMmm, well I have a 50yo 26ft wooden plank boat (6 tons) with a 3cyl Yanmar...(putt putt).
She is painted the same colour as our house 'cause I use the same paint. The most I would travel to fish would be 4ks from the marina. 10 litre of diesel last about 2mths when I am fishing hard. I don't get there as fast as the others but it is just like taking the wharf out fishing. We catch all our own bait and do our own maintenance. I pull her out on the clubs trailer every 18 mths and clean the hull, she is back in the water the same day.
When you get to my age (75) you will also be looking for a slower boat. Oh yeah, because I am old I get half price marina fees........Love been old.
Cheers........Portland, Vic.....
nothing wrong with an old displacement chug chug.
it still gets you there. cheers for the comment good to hear from different people with different ideals
Mate! Sensational vid!
Its not often someone jumps onboard your rig and understands the costs involved in running it!
Thanks for outlining it so humbly legend🥳
Cheers mate, I’m sure I missed a heap of expenses too, it ain’t cheap but I’d pay double just to be out there
If you got the 3+3 warranty then yes needs to be dealer serviced. If it’s not then you still get 3 years warranty. With the hours you do add up how much you will have spent on dealer servicing over the 6 years….With how much you use it just look after her and forget the warranty after 3 years as if something goes wrong after (unlikely) then you can pay for it to get repaired with all the thousands you have saved in the meantime. Just a thought mate
Boats arent cheap thats for sure. Im pretty selective who i bring these days.
I just paid 800ish for my 200 hour service on a 2021 suzi mate.
Thanks for sharing, it's got me thinking what i spend also. 🤙🤙
It certainly does all add up doesn’t it, there is always something needed/wanted haha. I’m not surprised on the fuel bill there wouldn’t be a boat that heads out more often then yours I wouldn’t have thought haha!! Also nice work scoring a few more tunas. Wish I was there 🤙🏼😎
Im sure there is a session coming soon mate
@@Saltfix for sure!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼😍
I own a f150 4 stroke Yamaha and i service it myself its pretty easy they are just a 4 stroke engine and to service the leg you need a pump and it takes trans or diff oil even the impeller is easy can do the lot for around 200$ only reason i wouldnt service it myself is if it was under warranty.
Im happy to do the service myself but at present its in warranty and Id like to keep it that way so it needs to be done by the dealer,
i know the service is pretty basic oil , filters , iplugs, mpeller, check the gearbox oil, make sure linkages are adjusted and check thermostats the grease steering and tilt.
Cheers for sharing the total cost of boat ownership, good for potential boat owners to be aware of. There is also rego on the boat and trailer to add to your tax bill :)
cheers Mate there is probably 100 things I forgot but this was a basic breakdown of some major things.
Spent 7 grand on my boat in the last 3 weeks 😆, new sounders, lights, fuel lines, hoses, bearings, rocket launcher, trailer winch, it can all add up very quick but it’s what we love, anytime someone ask me if owning a boats expensive I reply if your asking that question don’t buy a boat
Yep if you are worried about the cost, id recommend finding a friend with a boat.
What brand is thw bimini and rocket launcher and how much?
$25k is my annual spend for running the Sharkcat. It adds up quickly when you factor in fuel, maintenance, insurances, storage fees and running a truck to tow the boat. A lot of people aren’t exposed to the time factor too. It takes me an afternoon the day prior to get everything setup for a trip out to the Barrier Reef and a full day after a trip to detail the boat and trailer. Then there’s routine weekly fiddly little tasks on the shit list that have to be done to keep everything shipshape. Look after your boat and she’ll look after you.
Yes a lot of time.
im lucky I can leave mine all set up and park it in a shed so dont need to empty all my stuff each time, but still cleaning and fixy bits takes time but its mostly theroputic
unless shit is corroded and plays hard ball then it just sucks.
Exactly, I live in Golfo Dulce in Costa Rica. I can only fish 2 days per week. One day for prepping for the trip, one day of fishing, and one day of cleaning fish and cleaning the boat. That leaves one day for doing chores around the house. I keep up with the fishing but the house chores are way behind! lol
@@bobrichards1023 Hello in Costa Rica.
👌👌👌 good content mate 👌👌👌
Cheers Chev man
$400 for service on my 4 stroke merc. You need to find a new place to have your motor worked on !
Hi just wondering when you say tax bill are you claiming it as a business exspense thru you you tube channel ?
Yep, that’s the plan. I’ll talk about that in a later vid
F--- must off been alot of hours at $120 an hour did you get detailed report of what they done?
Yep got a report but what do you do? It’s a warranty service that needs to be done at dealer if you want the extended warranty
We're the tuna skipjack or baby bluefin?
probs lil bluefin
i didnt really check em out to much i call em bait tuna
@@Saltfix yeah they would make really good baits .. do you get many jack mackerel or blue mackerel
@@william.jake.a not really those little tuna are as good as it gets here, not quite tropical enough, water only gets warm in early autunm and lasts a few weeks cools off pretty quick
KG whiting for bait?
Its $110/kg over here!
No the KG would definately not be bait that was for eating if id found them, the small sand whiting would of been bait.
Would’ve kept the cuttle fish. Dhu fish candy mate, Dont need to buy bait
i know they good bait but after last time, that ink is like toxic tarmac
Fair enough 👌
Im thinking you need shop around 4 your next service .and save $700-$800🤔
It has to be done by the dealer as its under warranty, but im well aware its a rort
@@Saltfix only warranty work has to be done by dealer service is not part of warranty 🤫
@@russellburgess7003 ive been told it needs to be dealer serviced to take warranty from three to five years
@@Saltfix I thought 700 was expensive 🫣
@@Saltfix I had a 300hp Suzuki 2020 and it was $1050 I now have a 300hp 2022 Yamaha and its $950, maybe it's more expensive for parts in WA, I'm in Sydney.
Hahaha $73/week on fuel! I reckon I use about that in my car.
Choose your hobby and be single minded about it, I say.
well sometimes im out three or four times a week too, if i drove a bit more responsibly i could use less but i like fast.
lucky people watching these vids help to pay the bill but thats another topic for a future vid,

Holy heavens, you are dropping your pants for that service cost.... Unreal. I am in Perth, have similar motor to yours, I buy a Mercury kit and do it myself. My 8 year old could do it, simple as. $300 and that includes considerably more serviceable components than your Merc dealer will be concerning themselves with ! Motor just keeps going and going without a single issue.
Unfortunately to keep warranty the next few will be dealer service, and yep i did walk out like a cowboy
@@Saltfix hahaha, yes ouch! I'd be having a really close look at the warranty documents, sounds a lot like 'third line forcing' to me.
im interested on your thoughts about the comment made by mullet head below
I dont justify shit like that with a comment. if the bait smells bad its not worth biting
its easy to talk big online but different to risk losing your boat car and heavy fines for actually doing it.
im not happy with how they went about it but you cant look at all the boats going every weekend and all the bag out photos posted online and honestly think its sustainable.
something needed to change, just probably need more thought and less knee jerk,
in my opinion it should of been done years ago
Hope I’m proven wrong
Rip off service. Port Kennedy boat services, my two yammys $1600 total
Unfortunately dealer service for warranty, well aware its a rort
Depreciation???? Too horrific to contemplate??
Smiles cost money.
You dont buy a boat as an investment thats for sure.
