The big issue for 3 years, is that I do contract work overseas and am gone 10 months a year. I had a leak from 2 cracked bellows, one gimbal was bad, so had both drives serviced - replaced u-joints, oil changed, and the 2 shift cable in the lower drive units(?); had some issues with the bilge pump clogging (the engine cover's hinges were broken and the wood chipped and clogged the pump), some wiring issues,...replaced the engine cover, it was glassed and gel'ed and upholstered, bilge wiring cleaned up...new ($1,000+) sunbrella cover, new bimini top 2 years ago, 2 new gel batteries this year, 4 new trailer tires 2 years ago...it adds up and I haven't consciously counted the $$'s. Not bad all in all. Now I can pop it in the lake - plan on going out this December and January (Phoenix AZ!). Just love this big beast of a boat! The plan is to keep improving it, piece by piece....and get some more hours on the motors! Thanks for commenting!
