    I was thinking you were going to say because of the influx of new recruits.

    I say it almost every year but this year I held back. Good to see the new guy's asking questions. It's the veterans that don't take their own advice the I don't understand.. Oh well. Such is life.

    no matter how much preventative maintainence on the boat you will still have issues to deal with. Maybe not as many; maybe not the stupid ones, but "if you have a boat, you have a problem."

    Inevitably on these forums some guy will claim he NEVER has problems because the ALWAYS does the right thing (the guys who say, why carry tools if you maintain your boat?). the rest of us just quit commenting and go do something else, because we know how unlikely that really is--unless of course you maintain it so much you don't use it.
