Operating Costs

I am about to retire to Mexico. LaPaz area most likely. Im 56 and just sold my ranch. Looking to live the dream.

My dream always included a B-31. I've been on a bunch both fishing and diving. Luv 'em.

I will be on limited resources and I am curious to find out what to expect as operating expenses. I plan on buying one with diesels and plan to start with a turnkey boat. I can spend about $70,000.

I know there are a million answers but I'd like to know and learn from you guys.

So, diesel owners:

What are your operating costs. Break it down anyway that works. You guys know much more about this than me. I am definitely hoping I can afford to operate one.

If I can't it means dropping down to a center console or walkaround.

But...the dream is a B-31!

Thanks in advance!
