Boat Log

[Soon2BV]

When we bought our boat, I decided to keep a log of all our trips, hours, maintenance, major upgrades, etc. I bought a hard cover spiral bound notebook and have been keeping it current for 4 years.

This has been a fun "project" and a few times I have gone back and read some of the entries. I list where we went, who was along, any special info, and other info. I keep track of the number of trips per year and annual hours.

For anyone with kids, this could be a cool project and you could record their "firsts" to go back to later. My book is about 5" x 7" so easy to fit in the glovebox.

Cool idea. I love leafing back through mom and dad's photo albums. Anything to record the memories is all good in my book!

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. I have a hard cover log for the Bu but we just keep detailed maintenance records in it. I am going to have to start logging trip details too for the kids to look back on. I could see this getting away from me though and becoming a full blown scrap book maintained by the wifey.

I do something similar. Except it's all digital on the Mac and receipts stored in the Malibu Binder that came with the boat.

Really useful for tracking maintenance. Been keeping on board log for 12 years. I hesitate to think of the total amounts spent.
