Your boat your own deal.. most of the time people ( friends) will prob screw it up anyway..Its best you do it yourself then you dont get pissed off at anyone.. Its like asking for gas money ( yea I got 20 bucks ) You know what you can do with that!! I would go somebody in the real boating community with be there to help out if needed....

Lose the expectations, and with that will come less frustrations. It's your boat, your responsibility. I've come to this conclusion many years ago. And it works. Hell, when people ask me if they can help, I usually instruct them to meet me at the bar, because the wife and I have it down to a science and can finish our duties faster and more to our satisfaction than anyone else can. Never mind the fact that I like to wrench and detail alone, whereby you can devote everything the utmost attention without any distractions or 20 questions. I invite friends for company, not labor. It's not like I'm ever going to go over to one of my buddy's houses and mow their lawn before a BBQ that I'm invited to, I see the boat as no different.

What I always say "My Friends are always there when they need Me" Don't sweat it, People that are really interested in it (your boat/boating) will show it by being helpful, if not, as long as you are having fun thats what really counts, you can't make other people have fun....

And I love taking newbs out for their first ride. I think it's almost as satisfying for me as it is for them. You'd be hard-pressed to find too many people at my marina that I haven't taken out one time or another. It's all part of the fun.
