Throwing in the towel!

« **on:** April 05, 2014, 07:37:07 PM »

What part of boating makes you want to throw in the towel?
I hate, with a deep rooted passion, buffing/waxing.
Actually, I kind of hate it all right now.
I've been spoiled with only doing oil changes and gassing up the boat as prep the last few years and now, I'm FAR too lazy to do anything else.

I wish buffing and waxing was only thing on my list of to-do's.

Shit... I'll do that any day.... Then again I'm a rookie...

I'd rather be polishing and waxing the boat then polishing and waxing my old rice rocket

Crowded sandbars....all the norm maintenance is frustrating sometimes but once I'm out cruising it all melts away.

40 foot boats driven by 20 year old kids.

The "spending money" part.

I know what's pissing me off...
I already buffed it out once, and SOMEONE ELSE was supposed to wax it....
They didn't (of course) so it needed to be buffed again (which is what I'm doing right now) and still needs to be waxed (which I'll do after).
Maybe I just need to get shit faced drunk tonight....

I met her once at Lazy Harrys, but I thought you were referring to Mutt and Jeff............tell her I said hello, and "get back to work".

I don't think I'd want to the look on my wife's face if I told she needed to wax the boat. It wood be worse than your profile pic Omar. Then I would have to deal with the knot on my head after she wacked upside my head!!!
But she is willing to help out when we pull the boat out of the water👍

Cleaning up after an oil change! Shit takes all summer then I do it again... Second would have to be the smell of gasoline I get when I fuel it too much because my drivers side fill cap seal is old and rotted out and leaks.

I really end to get set up a drain tube or something.

the only part of boating i hate is the part where i have to put life aside so that i can have time to actually go and enjoy it. all the countless hours in the garage, sore back, etc and i havent even been able to hit the lake nor will I probably even be able to go with season with the new rugrat. thats what i hate... i wish there was a button that beamed me to my boat in the water at any given moment.

Your kid might be old enough towards the end of the season.
My girls are August and October baby's and I had them out before they were a year old and in the water the following season.

What I hate is when you feel you've done everything right, double checked your shit and some part fails, causing you the famous, "Break Off Another Thousand". Makes me want to master my technique in channel surfing.

If that don't make you want to smash your head against a wall, I don't know what does.
