I did not think about that. I would think that having an old boat with
issues, facing repair costs like these, makes it uneconomical.

You are using too many words.

"having a..... boat .......uneconomical."


As a former boat owner, I agree with the saying: there are two happy
days in a boater's life. The day when he buys a boat, and the day when
he sells it.

I enjoy sailboats. I currently own 3 of them. A very elderly Hobi 16, a
fun but very small Force 5 and an elderly Esenada 20.

The bigger they get..the more expensive they get to keep in good order.

Anything over 20' can be cost prohibitive for occasional sailors..and
for those who sail more often.
