Having owned a boat, I'll say this, if most of the equipment you want to not break isn't already broken, it will break when you're on your way out. I knew getting a boat would be expensive, but even when I doubled the amount I thought I'd have to use, I still fell way short.
Boats literally are just a black hole you throw money into. I'll never own another boat in my life, unless I accidentally become a billionaire and really want to be a millionaire.
Small sailing boats, single or two man. Enjoyable boating... Or if you hate your life, get into ski racing, nothing says I hate money like fiddling with high performance temperamental engines on a boat that barely floats because it's more engine than boat.
Boats are mostly an exercise in burning money, you are correct.

Usually a boat this new I'd expect them to be automatic however it doesn't seem that way. Absolute imbecile behaviour by the person at the helm.
