I made myself a promise when I bought my first and subsequent sailboats, all boat purchases and expenditures would be cash. A boat is a very discretionary expense.
I've never broken that promise. :) Later, after several years of boat ownership and hard lessons, I made myself a second promise. Specifically, when it comes to boat repairs, maintenance and upgrades, never "cheap it". I've broken that one a time or two and always regretted it. Dennis C.
