I have someone who comes to the house and winterizes it in the lift. (I could try, but I know I would screw something up) I always took it out of the water once a year to wax it, but other than oil changes the maintenance was minimal. I know I am fortunate to have the boathouse. Prior to 2003 I spent many years at Mountain View and I hated the job of putting the canvas on. I ended up buying some of those one inch snap extensions because the older canvas just got too tight. It is nice in the spring when it is time to use the boat for the first time. Push the remote to lower it into the water and turn the battery switch on. That is spring launch!

Amazon.com just sent me an unsolicited pop-up regarding a Craftsman product—that with a hammer or screwdriver—can install additional [marine] snaps or snap-extensions of your choice:
Through Craigslist, I sold the remnants of
my marine kit for $40!
Lowes has a sale on "selected Craftsman products", but be forewarned that they're usually the
big-ticket items.
