"Redneck Winterizing"!I bought a nice 20' deck boat dirt cheap a little while back because the PO "winterized" it by filling the motor with antifreeze right up to the oil cap...

"One can NOT face slap with Email" -- but some folks in these forums have pretty thin skin and may disagree with you.
When you look at private owner boats, take a look at their personal vehicles, their yards, and their houses as well. If any or all of these are not well kept you can bet the boat has seen the same treatment. We have a generation living among us who view cars, trucks and recreational vehicles as simply modes of transportation. If something breaks they have no clue what to fix or what they did to cause the problem.
I'd argue it is not generational... I've bought A LOT of powersports toys. Snowmobiles, jetskis, boats. It's rare that a year goes by without something new showing up in the driveway and something leaving. For the most part, younger owners tend to not get their hands greasy, but are far, far more likely to have it serviced at a dealer. The older, stubborn guys are the ones you have to be careful of, especially 60+ and retired. They know just enough to be dangerous, and are too stubborn to actually learn the correct way. (old dog, new tricks...)
