Sounds like what we have here is a few fare weather boaters. Definitely not a hobby for the weak at heart.

I am far from that, I don't know many that would still be going like I am after what I been through, I will get past this too, if there are issues the power will change but I don't ever see getting out of boating... been a part of my life since I was a kid.

Yeah ok, I`m guessing it`s much easier when you have someone else do all the work and just write a check?
100`s of hours in the garage and bilge plus all the $$ gets old.
Take the frustration you had with the extension box carrier multiply that by a 1000 and then come talk to me.

Must be replying to someone's comment I can't see it for some reason, or the wrong thread ?

The fun to work ratio in boating if you do your own work is stupid.
Especially with the short summers in the midwest.
Divide the hours used by the money spent and I`m at $965/hour. ummm yeah![Picard1](/forums/images/smilies/more/picard1.gif)
and that doesn`t include any labor. Yup this fair weather boater is calling it quits.

The amount of money spent to try to save more money later on this hobby is staggering. Just using decent hoses and fittings push up into multiple thousands. But every time I consider selling the boat the gf looks at me as if wherever the boat goes she goes, so the boat stays for the time being.
Even deep pockets have bad days.
