Description

The paperwork is signed and the boat is yours. This is the part nobody prepares you for.

A week-by-week plan for your first month: registration and documentation done right, the insurance requirements that void claims when ignored, a full safety-gear audit with real expiration rules, the systems walkthrough that teaches you where every seacock and shutoff lives, how to find your boat’s true range and fuel burn, the service baseline to start from (including the oil analysis that costs almost nothing and catches engine problems early), and the shakedown trip that finds her surprises on your terms.
