lobster Boats

Blue Runner: You know I dont know what slips sell for as I have a lift on my dock but I'm sure its expensive like everything else related to boating. A sport fishie captain friend of mine pays $ 9k a year for his boat (which is a Viking 57 ) and charter insurance and $1,200 for captains insurance. With the price of gas, lost bad weather days ,maintenance and slips I dont see how these guys make it. Most of them work on their own boats or they would never break even..Frank
