What Kind of Maintenance Did Your Boat Require This Year?

I finally forced myself into getting my boat lake ready this week. It has sat in my parent's back yard unmoved since Mid August...I have a tournament Saturday, so it was nut cutting time for me.
This may have been the most amount of work I have had to do to get her back right...
* Replace 3 rocker switches at my console
* Replace the power trim relay solenoid things.
* Rewire aerators
* Replace Fuel hose
* Syphon old gas
* Trailer Renewal
* Boat Renewal
* New Cranking Battery
* Bulbs on Running light poles
All this done in a couple of days
Still havent completed the trailer and boat renewal. Still need to get my fishing license.
After getting all the mechanical and electrical crap lined up. I put the bunny ears on her last night, and everything was running like a top!
I love it when a plan comes together. Feels damn great.
Now i need to get legal!
This may inspire me to start fishing alot more. It is easy to stay at the house when you know that your boat needs a bunch of crap done to it...
What have you all had to do?

Carb issues on the #3 carb...cleaned and readjusted. Fuses for the bilge and livewell blew for some reason.
Thats it so far...but she is back to running like a top. May hit the water this weekend if the wind will lay down.

Mine is sitting in an enclosed boat shed at Pickwick. I am in Birmingham. Have not pulled it out in two years. I am scared to go there and unlock the door. I know it will be bad.

Hose off the spider webs, check the oil, hit the switch for the hoist to drop it in the water.

All I have had to do so far was change the oil

shite my boat doesn't sit up long enough! in all honesty, though, I think the longest my boat has gone without it being in the water is about 3 weeks in the last year and a half.

Not my boat, but my uncle's.
We had to replace the trailer hubs and rewire some switches. It was hooked up to the van a day later.

Had to have the hull welded in a couple spots (stump jumping.)
Lower unit oil, repack bearings- yearly maint.
Stuff I have done that wasnt required:
Upgraded front depth finder to a combo.
Amp and speakers

I got my 1999 19 ft ski boat out the other day after it sat all winter.
Turned the key and it started up on the 5th turnover. All electronics worked.
I still have to check out my 24ft ski boat to see if the engines are good to go for the summer but i'm positive they are.
