Soooo did you just never do oil changes, impellers, and other regular maintenance? Because that math doesn’t add up

I do agree that you can significantly cut costs down doing your own work though.

utboards, woof. Horrifying thought. I want a 250 yamaha but damnit I just can't wrap my head around paying nearly $30k for a damn boat moto



Got the new Suzuki 250 SS and it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Spent a few thousand less and the thing eats right on the side of all the new sho’s in our club. Took some setup and correct prop but I’m as happy as I could be with the engine and performance.

It also has a 5 year warranty that you don’t have to pay extra fir

He obviously was running Yamaha OX66’s. That’s the only way.

I plan on 10% of the boat value annually. This is Bristol condition.
I trim from that with DIY.

Got me there, my boat isn’t trailerable.
How you use the boat, how often.
