OK Pantera Dudes ....... the truth now ..... who likes working/modifying/upgrading/customizing their boat even more than riding around in it??
Who enjoys the satisfaction from improving the machine making it unique or bringing a dead classic back to life and showing it off versus cruising around in a new machine with no worries.
I know there are a few here!

10-07-2009 12:42 PMI voted for wrenchin' but that can be even more expensive than riding.

10-07-2009 03:27 PMI wouldn't know. I can't afford a new boat so I have to wrench. I think Griff has the right idea.

10-07-2009 10:09 PMI don't mind wrenching IF I am improving. But I will always enjoy being on the water more than having a wrench in my hand.
But I have far from a new machine. I would make a comment here but I do not want to jinx myself!!!

10-08-2009 12:13 PMIf you don't like fixin' and wrenchin', you really shouldn't even own a boat. It takes lots of it just to do preventive maintenance. That's the only way a person can expect to have a trouble free summer season. I honestly enjoy restoring and improving better than riding!

10-08-2009 01:24 PMI didn't vote since I don't have a new boat but I enjoy being out on the water much more than wrenching! Originally Posted by Mikeb4

10-08-2009 01:47 PMA fat purse can make the pain go away on either wrenchin or riding.
Now that I've seen my boat sit this long, I would say without a single doubt that riding is at the top of my list.
I've never been too concerned how new the yr model is, I just like it to "LOOK" new
