marina slip costs

[ronlmorse]

anybody know what a 50 ft slip for purchase may cost @ quepos?

At Marina Pez Vela, 30ft wet slip is US$175K! Not sure about 50ft.

In 1982 I paid more than US$175 to lift my 18 footer out of the water when a storm was coming. Slip fee was over US$2K back then too. And in NY you only could use the boat essentially for 3 months. Winter storage was a bargain at US$10 a foot, as long as you closed the boat up yourself. I figured the last year I had the boat which was in ’82, it cost me US$300 every time I turned the key. The only advantage was that back then you could sell a boat used for almost what you paid for it new. I paid US$7100 for it new in ’79, and sold it for US$6900 in ’83. In ’83 the same boat was over US$12K new.

A boat owners two happiest days…The day he buys it, and the day he sells it! Another proverb; A boat is nothing more than a hole in the water into which you throw money.

“BOAT” a four-letter acronym for “Break Out Another Thousand”.
