I had the 100 hr service done very late last season, only took the boat out once afterwards, I know they say to change a car's oil every 3 months but does the same apply for marine engine oil?

yep! check brakes, lights, tires, and make sure your bunks didnt rot around the bolts that hold them to the trailer, or else you will be swimming after them in the marina.. happened to me before.:D

Yep, just had this done too.
Brakes including friction (pads or shoes).
Fluid level
Lubrication
lights
wiring
TIRES <-----very important.
Remember, for those that tow from Cali to the river you put more use on your tires than you do your boat engine. :idea:
