    Too many factors, like cost of living where you are, your family, and all of that stuff. Creative financing is key sometimes. You can probably get a great deal on a used boat. I would not be able to have a boat at all if I was paying for a home in California on my current salary. I only have a 24' boat!

    Well, I live in N.C., so things are cheaper here..also, I have no kids, nor house, just a town house for now..The job I will be getting which will be 3d animation or web design, usually runs for the average salary around $50-70,000 startin out..with that salary, would that be an ok number to afford one of the above boats..also once i get married my wife will be in animation or web design as well since we are doing the same thing..so i have to put that in as a factor. well if anyone makes that type of annual salary or around that and owns a sports boat write back....thanks

    Weird question. No doubt in my mind that Fastech is a bank manager looking to know if that new customer or his can afford to spend that much money on a boat.
    Chris, why don't you give this guy a break? If he needs cash for a boat, this guy is someone you should invest on, he's a serious person (right guys?). And if you give him a break, he'll take you for a ride....

    Bankmanager? thats funny, I am still in school, I graduate in about a year ..also I said I was an animator/web designer..that doesn't sound to much like a bankmanager. I don't care if the question is weird, I'm just curious to see what salary I should be making to afford a $60,000-80,000 hot boat ...doesn't sound to weird to me..thankyou for the concern ,though.

    It's give and take buddy. I raced blown gas flatbottom on a very small income. Man was I starving. Now I make three times as much and am still held up for parts due to lack of money. I'm building a really bitchin boat and will be towing it with an old truck. You can do what you want on a low budget. You just can't do it all as quick as some one else. Paycheck to part is how I have lived for a long time!

    Fastech, start with an 18 foot boat and upgrade every so often when the urge comes,hehe.Size is always an issue regardless how much money you make!
