** (Minimum) not including boat purchase.
Additionally, as our boats are typically used every day during the summer and frequently during the off seasons, they tend to suffer less problems as salt get less time in between outings to crystallise and do its damage. This means our boats do not tend to suffer the same failures that less frequently used privately owned boats do.
