I spent eleven years brokering and surveying used cruising sailboats along the Chesapeake and later in the Pacific Northwest before I started keeping a private ledger of every 'surprise' cost my clients hit after closing. Across 140 documented purchases, the pattern was always the same: a $30,000 boat quietly became a $48,000 boat within twelve months. I wrote this down first for two clients who asked me to walk them through it line by line at their kitchen table, coffee going cold, calculator between us. That conversation became this system.
For years I watched good, careful men — men who'd spent decades doing the responsible thing — hand over their lump sum based on a listing photo and a broker's smile. Not because they were foolish, but because nobody had ever handed them a number to check the number against. I kept a ledger of every hidden cost I saw sink a first-time buyer's budget, then built it into a formula anyone could run in an evening. This isn't a book about which boat to love. It's the arithmetic that keeps the boat you love from taking your retirement down with it. I wrote it so you sign with your eyes open, not your fingers crossed.
