What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Rain City]

Took an oath that I will never own another I/O.

Currently in IO hell myself, again!

Sell the beast

Sell the beast

If only it were that easy. Had three guys lined up to look at it in late june when we discovered the latest problem, which is actually the same thing that happened a year ago.

And oh look, there's another newer one having it's engines pulled and new transom shields and drives installed due to corrosion.

Not really, but it’s just been a summer of **** breaking, and I hate working on mystery problems and chasing issues. Cant wait to pod lol

Just kidding, I love it so much and it’s perfect (it’s not broken anymore)

Found 2 prawns and an anchovy during a thorough pressure wash. Too sun dried to be stinky.

It’s like an abusive relationship.

Man was that ever triggering. You're so right. This reminds me a lot of my first marriage. She was expensive, but everyone gawked at her. She was tempermental, but that just made the good times even better. And I stayed with her way too long because I valued all the effort I had already put in too much. My god... didn't someone say they were going to start an I/O support group? I think I need that now.

You can put your money into either the support group or the I/O repair fund, there isn’t enough money out there to do both. Choose wisely!
