I'm beginning to think that when it comes to your car, motorcycle, Mope head, Go cart, and anything else on this earth that has an engine needs to be a turn key operation. Ready to go at any given moment regardless of the weather or conditions. But what's funny to me is it seems if your not working on your boat its not worth owning. Is it me or is this just the mind set of us boaters.

Its a "hobby". Anybody in the 4x4 world, performance car world. motorcycle world etc is always tinkering. Trying to get that next little bit, trying to make it better, cooler, faster.

Guilty here, Currently own a modded Jeep Wrangler (35" tires, Lockers, full cage, armor and skids), A modded 2006 Grand Cherokee SRT-8 (392 Stroker CNC ported heads, Headers, Cam etc...), a Modded 2005 Dodge SRT-4(Ported head, forged pistons/rods, Ported Stage 3 Turbo with 47 Lb compressor, billet input shaft and gears in the trans), 9 ATV and ATCs that are of course modded...

And here I am looking to buy an old Magnum or Nova to leave completely alone and never change... Yeah right, I haven't even found a boat yet and I already have a list of mods for it

It's the nature of the beast. Half the fun is in modifying and improving the boats.

If we wanted to leave them alone we would be piloting cruisers
