I do it all.

Fear my OMC 260s.

Can't afford to pay some one else to do it, so I do it all myself.

Re: who works on their own boat?
 

Do it all myself and others boats too... My theory is if the person can't fix it, they shouldn't own it :drink:

I hear that. Just when you get all the bugs out. Time to move on! I do the same thing.

i wouldn't have anything.... :D i don't have the time mainly but i like to tinker with it...

Re: who works on their own boat?
 

I tend to sell them when they are finished, but not capable of fixing the big items (drives, engines). Cosmetics, switches, pumps I have always handled myself.

all maintenence, rigging, installs, upgrades, detailing, ect. I had requested nothing more than the yard boss to run the forklift for engine in and outs in the past...nobody touches the boats but ME.

drive and engine guts I leave to others, after they've been seperated from the boat.

I trust my own work the most, and there are VERY few I even allow to go near my boats without my being present.
(on my sixth boat in 16 years...I can count those people on one hand)

I'm a retentive, protective, obsessive compulsive maniac about my boats, and my wallet says that's O.K. :D
