Final answer:

To calculate the total amount paid for the boat, add the monthly payments over 10 years to the initial down payment. The total amount paid is $43,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount paid for the boat, we need to calculate the monthly payments over 10 years and add the initial down payment. The monthly payment is $350 for 10 years, which is a total of $350 x 12 months x 10 years = $<<350*12*10=42000>>42000. Adding the initial down payment of $1000, the total amount paid for the boat is $42000 + $1000 = $<<42000+1000=43000>>43000.
