And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We just hauled a 65ft Trumpy motoryacht with a rotten bottom from electrolysis coming from the thru haul fittings. If the shore power is plugged up you can't touch any metal on the boat & has around 90volts coming out of the fittings Gonna be expensive. There were no worms though.
They're beautiful, but whenever I see one the first thing that pops into my mind is, 'What's the annual maintenance budget?' It must be almost a full time job just finding people to work on it competently.
Nowadays, just the operating costs for fuel and a slip to park it. The marinas will hit you hard for gas without ethanol in it, you can go broke riding a jet ski for a day.
Beautiful runabout and cruiser.

ReplyDeleteIf you can afford the boat you usually can afford the maintenance.

DeleteWe had a cabin cruiser and the paneling had to be varnished every year. What a pain.
