My last two weekends. The previous owner just painted over old paint. So as a result I have 10-15 coats of paint that's 1/8" thick. I get a little more each year.

Just got one of my 130s back from the Sears brothers.

After thinking about it and watching the previous generations in my family deal with this issue...one tends to go bigger and bigger until it reaches a point usually about 65 years old, then they seem go small again (I am talking about boats...get your head out of the gutter!!) and head back to the basic CC and single outboard. It is like the "boating circle of life"

Boats are a painintheass and depreciate in value faster than just about anything. But a great day on the water is priceless and for that reason, I still love boats. Besides, despite all the finger busting, knuckle cuts and bruises I have from working on them, and the endless list of to-do items, I have to say I enjoy it...it is a sick thing but I like tinkering around with boats.
