I have to do it all, around here they won't touch a boat like mine. But I don't mind that way I know it's done right or I only have myself to blame.

Re: who works on their own boat?
Do everything so far, including some drive and motor work. I like it and enjoy it, I have messed with all types of mechanical things and never owned a boat so that is 1/2 the fun. Know what I can't do though so no paint or gel coat in my future. Painted a couple things in my life and they all looked substandard in my view. Plus another bonus besides the $$ or own work is that I am very picky on stuff and my dad used to say "nobody loves anything as much as its owner" and I find that very true.

Re: who works on their own boat?
I work on breaking it and leave fixing it to the pros....actually I do tend to tinker with alot of stuff on the boat but leave motor and drive work to someone else...especially when warrenties are involved.
