      Funny thing is I didn't have that problem with my new boat. It was a '98 but new to me, however, one time the starter didn't work right so I had to hit on it and then it finally turned on. And then I bought a new starter and I got it replaced. That was about a thousand joking. It wasn't that much. Maintenance is high but if you learn how to do some other stuff yourself it's not that high. But it's always really high

    My father loved his boat more than he loved life. Growing up, I figured the boat was gonna break down every other trip because his boat envy led to "upgrades" on the engine. I legit thought he was gonna divorce my mom one year when she left the prop down before loading it onto the trailer and didn't figure it out until after we'd towed it all the way up the ramp. It took him months to recover mentally from the loss of that prop

      Yep, some forms of boating are extremely cheap. I've got a jonboat that's got a 2000 Johnson and has had 0 problems I couldn't easily fix for $50-100. Total spent is under $3000 and I've had it for years. Use it 2-4 times a week. Buddy got a 1979 Catalina 22 for $3000 and we sailed all over the Chesapeake bay for a few years on it without issues. Not all boats fall under the B.O.A.T acronym. Really seems to be most true with the I/O lake boats and V drive boats that everyone wants for whatever reason.

    My uncle gave us his boat. I did not want it. My mom was excited to get it. The boat requires a fair bit of cosmetic work but is in overall decent condition. Thing is, we don't have the time to go on any body of water and I'm more wanting a camper than a boat because at least the camper can be used as a temporary cabin if guests come over.
    I'm hoping she'll see the light when she sees how expensive having a boat is. I don't want the boat.

    I bought a used boat this past April. It proceeded to snow almost the entire month after that. This was followed by very warm temps and the snow run off made many area waters too high and fast to land the thing. Now it hasn't rained for a month and the water levels are too low at many landings. Buy a boat, it's an exciting experience!

    I’ve been a boater since 2005 and because I maintained my boat I didn’t break down all the time like people do. When I buy a boat I go through it and replace a the stuff that wears out. Like my last boat before I even put it in the water I put a new alternator, starter, water pump, sea pump, belt, 2 batteries, rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, plugs and wires, coil, bilge pump and keep the old one for a spare incase of emergency so it’s set up to be used immediately, the rubber bellows and because I do all this maintenance I don’t break down on a Saturday afternoon and ruin the day but 99% of boaters do absolutely zero maintenance then complain when it breaks down.

    • @salegado71
      @salegado71 Рік тому +1

      So true, a lot of people buy a boat without educating themselves what maintenance it requires... and they arrive on the ramp only to find out the boat will not start or crank because the battery is weak. Simple common sense would have save your day by making sure to start the boat before heading to the marina.

    Great vid, reality of it though is it all depends on if you’re humble or not lol. My partner bought me a boat for Christmas this year, $500, 14ft fibreglass playmate, good overall condition and all still original. So far I’ve spent $250 on servicing and other minor repairs as required (2nd year apprentice mechanic). Looking at another $260 for boat and trailer rego and that’s it. Just something to go out fishing in and having a great day out with the fam. It’s all I could ever want. 100% will not be “bout another thousand” that’s for sure lol. If your humble you won’t break the bank, if your flashy and gotta have the best of it all then good luck to you lol

    I got a family cottage in muskoka Canada. We still have a 1989 16ft charger with reinforced transom, 150xr2 racing engine from a tunnel hull race boat it’s got the 250 modVP lower unit with high flow racing prop, hot foot so you can drive with two hands and a custom gas tank because the engine chews gas. It does 87 mph and tosses water 150ft. We just got the lower unit rebuilt and it’s starting to become very hard finding parts for it. I hope pops passes or down to me so I can take it further with a custom paint job hydraulic lift and tilt and a brand new updated interior. I’ve been boating now for 35 years almost every weekend I can.
