NOT counting fuel....

What did all of you do to repair/upgrade/keep from sinking yer boat this past year?

We bought a new cover
installed new aluminum manifolds and risers
Installed Captains Call (still need to wire it up, have it cable tied open)
replaced sink pump
bought a couple props (got screwed on one from ebay)
got a new high flow flame arrestor
replaced the gas struts on the hatches
2 new batteries
replaced all the wheel bearings and seals

I am sure there is more I can't think of right now...

I threw the cost of the 2 tanks of fuel at it, it swallowed about 1 and half tanks and shit out a piston.

$3,496.48.... But thats just an estimate.

$1,675.00 wet dock for the season so scum can collect the bottom.
$875. Yacht club membership because Sarah wanted the pool that we used twice.
$375.26 to have boat looked at for overheating and told it was just an inaccurate thermostat.
$50.00 to replace the fuel the jackass used to take the boat for test ride.
$275.93 the next week because the impeller needed replaced. Which I told them the first God D*** time!
$245.29 to have boat pulled and pressure washed.

Meeting friends like you that offer to help a mechanically challenged guy like me so I dont get ass fu**ed next year........

PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry* I forgot to add an additional $90 for haul out for the cleaning. How the hell can they charge me for a haul out when we put the god&%$# Fu&%$@* thing on the freakin trailer ourselves?

I am so glad I dont have to give those fuc&^%# low life pieces of shat another god*&m f&^king cent!

Deep breaths* happy place* naked chicks.... OK all better.

I called the jackholes at the marina I dont want to mention the name of in Catawba that sells sea rays and rhymes with starine wax.

As it turns out they should not have charged me for a haul out and were nice enough the apologize and offer me a free oil change next spring.

I was pleased with the way it was handled and politely replied, "F#$k no I dont want a god^%m oil change next spring. You A#$holes cant seem to do one godd%$m thing right with out charging me more than you should so credit the fuc&ing money back to my credit card.

I then (just as politely) told them that there was no chance in hell my boat would be back there in the spring.

Maybe I should consider a career in sales. I seem to have developed into quite the people person!
