When I got my first boat in 1966 I noticed that all the boat bottoms were 
painted green or blue.  So I painted my boat bottom green using green house 
paint.   As the season wore on I noticed the boat getting slower and slower.   
When I pulled it out at the end of the season the bottom looked like a nest of 
seaweed, barnacles and mussels.  Boat must have gained 100 pounds.   It was a 
beautiful Lyman Lapstrake.   Jerry J&J, C&C 27 V.

When you have had the same boat since 1977, the PO idiot ends up being YOU.

I believe we were likely all former owner idiots at one time.
 
My first boat was a 23 footer and I installed cabin lamps on bulkhead in vee 
berth.  I used old appliance electric lamp cord (off an old household lamp) 
because I had no idea what should be used.  I am certain the buyer of that boat 
likely cursed at the PO when his cabin lights ceased functioning and he had to 
rewire.
 
If we were all born with 20 years of boat ownership experience I am certain 
there would be less boneheaded updates performed on these venerable old 
antiques we sail in …

Why are so many former owners idiots? What is it with these people?

I assume the folks who have bought my boats have exactly the same questions.
