I hear ya. I am at the opposite perspective, with 4 kids under 12 decided we were overdue for a boat. I got what I thought was a good deal but am quickly learning that maintenance is more than just changing fluids every year and that the boat wasn't as well cared for as I was led to believe. I bought the boat in May and have already replaced all fluids, spark plugs/caps, thermostat, impeller, steering cable, blower fan, bilge pump, and greased the rudder. Still trying to figure out how water is still getting into the bilge, a couple gauges that don't light up at night, and need to add a water strainer after this incident. Oh well, the kids don't care and have enjoyed the almost 40hrs we've already put on it this summer!
