How long will you be a boater? Buying a trailer is a fixed cost for many years. Hiring a marina is a cost that will increase almost every year. If you have a long time horizon, buying a slip or rack can level off your costs. If you get out of boating, you can sell or rent it, or give it to your kids. Obviously, this is very long term and a lot different than trying to save $100 by doing your own oil changes.
