My Calculation of Trawler-Cost: 1. " Jim Baumann rule": ... When you die you can't take your money with you but maybe you can take your cruising memories ... 2. 1% Slip 1% Insurance 1% Mantainance 2% Loss of value (only if you buy a good "reseller") 5% Income, you don't get (If you use your money; if you use your bank it's more expensive) -> 10 % from list-price every year.
