BOAT= Bring Out Another Thousand.
I have an old 27 foot sailboat for about 25 years now, all boats need constant attention, are you willing to do a lot of the work? As they get larger operating cost goes up a lot, usually more things to go wrong, plumbing, refrigeration, engine repairs. Part would depend on your moorage cost for the area, they normally need to get pulled out every two years to repaint below the water line, under $1k ( one boat unit is $1k) for my 27ft if I do the work myself. Any deck or hull repairs get pricy real quick, usually balsa core so they can get wet, so survey required before purchasing.
So break even, not likely on a 35-45, unless you picked up really cheap and demand went way up, price an engine or even a prop, electronics, safety equipment. A friend with a pretty new 44ft sailboat is in for about $20k so far this year, electronics failed and required new auto helm and some engine repairs.
