What was the bigger chunk of the $2000+. The storage or trim/tilt repair???
 
Tilt and Trim 500.00
Winter Storage Pick Up and Delivery covered the remaining total
What determines if the cost is justifiable is
TIME SPENT ON BENNY
My Time Unfortunately Has Been Limited Due To Many Factors
When The Boat Is Literally Parked At Your Private Dock In Your Front Yard ....
And You Are On Boat Only 7 Times All Summer
Not IDEAL
Hoping Next Year Is Different

Look at it this way, that’s 7 toon rental days on our lake @ $234/day, but you still have a boat at the end of the day. We are lucky enough to spend 6-8 days a month on ours. Still not cheap, but better than renting ...;)

That's not a bad price SemperFi. In NY it costs $400/day and down here in Florida $450/day. I know as I looked into it as my boat is in NY. Fortunately my neighbor recently picked up a 2019 Bennington and we have been out on that
 
Mark, I meant his cost per day for his. On our lake depending on toon size, for 8 hour day rate, it ranges from $285-$415
 
No Disagreement Here.
BUT
As a warning to others , who may not have the luxury of having the private dock, or
Benny literally in the front yard, think it through. The cost psychologically is reduced
significantly if you have the time to enjoy your Benny. I waited till I retired to purchase
The Benny knowing with my work schedule Boating would be minimal at best. With
retirement I felt I would have an abundance of free time unfortunately that is not the case.
Next season I will strive to increase my time on Benny as being on the water is
second only to family. If I find my time is limited as it has been the past 3 seasons I will say
Good Bye to Benny and list it for SALE.

Interesting fact (LOL)
Notice with all the pictures I post of my Lake
Only a handful have any boats , jet skis etc on water
America we need to find a way to slow down and enjoy the pleasures of life
I can only speak for myself and say I am trying (lol)
