A lot of these things most people would not change or address when buying a used boat. Lots of people have the mindset of run it until she blows. They are the guys you will see on the side of the raid changing a blown tire or looking in the ditch for their wheel that flew off due to lack of maintenance or sitting at the launch trying over and over agin to get the boy to fire or having to boost the weak battery at the launch.
Exactly. I can’t afford to have a breakdown like that. I frequently fish large lakes where I am 40 km from the launch and I could be the only boat out there. I need to have a boat that’s safe, reliable and fishable. Otherwise it’s a no go. I can’t tell others what to do but I’m going to do the necessary maintenance on my boats so I don’t have any issues.
