The damn thing works!!
I finally got the chance to get the boat wet today. I've already got two Havi trips booked and havn't even started the boat since last November. I'm thinkin if I start fixin stuff now, I'll be ready by April, so I throw it in the water and it runs beautiful!! WTF!! that never hapens right?
Question for everyone.... I'm pretty anal with the maintenance, but what are the most common problems you run into at the beginning of the season??? and what maintenance might you forget???

Fuel stabilizer and change filters, drain water seperators if you got them. Tire pressure.

Them days are over, but sure liked the maintenance on the good ol' 12jc compared to a brovo 1
Wheel bearings... thats it! glad you reminded me before I ended up on the side of the road in tonopah or someplace just as crappy.
Batteries is a good point also, have a couple of optima's that sat for a few months and never seemed to die until I let the stereo run them down.

Some one said barings... don't forget the trailer lights and wiring while your at it. Finding out you don't have tail/brake lights by having some one rear end you is not alot of fun.
