I do everything..I've never had to rebuild an engine but if the need arises I'll try it at least once.

Re: who works on their own boat?
 

I do ever' damn thing on my boat and mostly wish I had one that didn't require as much work. I couldn't own it if If I had to pay someone...

I actually enjoy working on them, just wish the season was longer. Having a boat laid up for two weeks (In the Great White North) is a premium.

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

I hear ya, Waterfoul. I do most everything myself also and most of the time enjoy doing it....... as long as it does not eat into the actual boating time.

I think I have a new Life Goal:

Become rich enough to NOT have to work on my own boats.












Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen... :(

Re: who works on their own boat?
 

Used to do it ALL myself and spent many a miserable hour trying to save a buck on the older boats. Now with the new boat's I would still do as much as I can before the level of knowledge on the new EFI's drops off technical-wise, then I would call in the maintenance paratrooper to jump in and fix it. But I'd give it a hell of a try as I do with everything I own house; cars; etc. I've even got the shop manual for the motors, so I'd give it a good peak before throwing in the towel. But so far I haven't had any problems with the Sunsations I've owned... :cool:

It's also ironic how many people consider
you a "friend" ( because of your abilities) :rolleyes:

Extension boxes do make nice steps though :D

Re: who works on their own boat?
 

I've done it all in the past but am having the new mills built by a pro....Wesco!
