If you thought owning a Jeep was bad, buy a boat.
Cracks me up to see the shock on a houseboat owner's face when they find out what it costs to have work done on em, or to hear the pause when somebody in a stranded ski boat asks how much it'll cost for me to tow them in and I say $140 minumum plus gas....... in a heavy 30ft boat with twin 150s
One of the nice things about working on rentals, I just fill out what parts I want on a list and get them, no worries about cost! Absolutely amazes me how much it costs for me to walk out of our parts room with an armfull of parts!
