What do you buy for your boat? And what does your boat need before the season?

[HB Vic]

I was talking to someone the other day and we were discussing what we buy (either in parts, upgrades, or service) for our boats.

I've been bad lately, the past couple years I haven't done much of my own anything. So I've found myself paying for a few things. Some of them I would never tackle myself, others I'm kind of ashamed to admit I pay other to do. So I'll start:

The DCB:

Annual Service
25hr services (engine and drive fluids)
Drive service (20-25hrs)
Details (yikes)
Interior remodel
Gel repair


The Toon (27' Playcraft with 496):

Annual service
Sound system (yikes, I should have done this)
Service - boat is actually having a problem right now

After the toon gets repaired, it really needs trailer bunks. Other than that both have been pretty well kept.
But the season is coming up fast.

Nothing to the boat. Working on redoing the trailer bunks at the current time. I figured 1 bolt out of 4 left on a few of them means its time.

Ever hire anyone to replace your bunks? I almost did until I found out he used lags 😁

I have to get a Place Diverter o-ring before the boat goes back out again...

I'd like to swap the intake from the Fast 90 to a Holley Hi-Ram, and retune. Not sure when that'll happen.

I added more to the list. I try to do something small each year. My list is getting smaller and smaller that soon entire new interior and engine will be done. I will be keeping KMG Boat (rub rail and carpet) and WOT (everything else including service) busy for a few weeks.

My bunks need replacing. I guess I'm newer than I thought. What's wrong with lags?
I did replace all four wheel bearings on the trailer last weekend after throwing one in October.
