Who told you boat ownership was "maintenance-free?"

Why did you believe that?

I spend $300 to $500 a year maintaining my F225 outboard properly. Seems
reasonable to me.

Harry,

I said "maintenance free like", as in the SeaDoo was positioned to me as the
Honda of water vehicles.
Now I know, first hand, the reasoning behind the adage: "The two best days
of a boat owner are ...
the day he gets his new boat, and the day he sells it." ;-)

Anyway, I'm looking to find out if this maintenance schedule is exaggerated
by SeaDoo/Bombardier?
