Annual maintenance ($)

Leave blank to use the Discover Boating rule of thumb (10% of boat value per year). Enter your own figure to override.

Blank lines are left out of the total and the result is labeled partial. Loan principal and depreciation stay separate (we do not invent a depreciation curve).
