WakeWorth / Boat smarter

You can afford the boat. Can you afford owning it?

Less guesswork. More water.01 / Before you buy

Our approach

01 Your inputs, not generic averages

02 Loan principal separate from operating costs

03 A tool, not a sales pitch

Look beyond the payment

A boat budget.
Not a blind spot.

A paid-off boat still needs fuel, storage, and repairs. Bring the whole picture into one spreadsheet before you commit.

BoatMath / Ownership snapshotHypothetical demo

Example only — hypothetical boat ownership costs, not the product price. Your results depend on your own inputs.

Demo: estimated monthly boat ownership

$750 / mo

Loan payments$3,600 / year
Operating costs$5,400 / year
Annual cash outlay$9,000

$375 per day on the water

At 24 boating days per year in this hypothetical scenario.

Hypothetical ongoing-year example: $9,000 ÷ 12 months or 24 outings. Excludes upfront purchase cash, reserves, and depreciation. The workbook separately shows loan principal and interest, includes upfront cash over your chosen horizon, and keeps reserve set-asides and optional depreciation separate.

01

Enter the costs you actually face.

Purchase price, down payment, financing, fuel burn, fuel price, and hours used. Add insurance, a slip or storage, maintenance, trailer costs, upgrades, and a repair reserve.

02

Put two boats on equal footing.

Compare an older, cheaper boat with a newer, more expensive one. Add a local boat-club quote—initiation fees, dues, and per-use charges—to compare all three over the same timeframe and number of outings.

03

Keep the picture clear over time.

Log actual maintenance expenses in the tracker. Keep loan principal, interest, operating costs, reserves, and optional depreciation distinct. Screenshot the privacy-safe share card to share aggregate per-outing results without loan details or personal identifiers; keep the workbook private.

One bundle. The whole picture.

Small download.
Big reality check.

For boat shoppers who want to understand the ongoing commitment—not just the asking price.
