Depends on the environment, for me boating is/was a second job. It can be stressful, while I was running that 64, I also owned a 50 foot Hatteras sportfish of my own, so it was tons of work. Next year, I will now downsize to a smaller 30-36 foot center console and get back to the fun part again.
The 64 has 3 staterooms, all with heads and showers, 6 air conditioning zones, twin 16cyl MTU diesels (2030hp each) 2 diesel generators, watermaker and the list goes on and on and on. To keep all that crap in ship shape, takes a lot of time.
It's a labor of love, makes planes look really easy by comparison..and cheap too.
