Meanwhile, Dennis, you have NO boat. And aren't likely to get one, either.

Tough, eh?


Not at all. So what makes you think I am not likely to ever own a boat
again?


Just a wild-assed guess.



When I do I will take pride in caring for her throughout the season as I
always have. I will not have a marina or dealer do my pre launch work as I
know I can do it better and take pride in doing do.



Well, good for you. If I were a certified Yamaha or Cummins mechanic, I
might try some engine work. But I'm not. So I just keep the engines
clean and make sure everything is tight and the fluids are "up." There's
nothing broken on my boats, so there is nothing to fix.



Do what you want Harry. I know now you don't own a boat, even the little
Parker....it is someone else's.

Post whatever floats the boat you don't have, Dennis.
