\"\"“E<\/span>verything on your boat needs fixing
\n– you just don’t know about it yet!”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n

I remember reading a statement similar to that on a boat owner’s forum website. Truer words were never spoken…<\/span><\/p>\n

I have always liked working on stuff & all through high school I worked part time at a local service station pumping gas, changing oil, fixing tires & often helping the licensed mechanics with their more complicated repair vehicle projects. My dad was also very handy at home & he taught me a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

We owned Ananda from 2006 to 2016 and owned Santosha from 2017 to 2021. Over the years we made several improvements to our boats and along the way I picked up a lot of good advice and tips from fellow boaters and from boat owner’s forums. I hope that sharing my modest experience will help someone else in their boat ownership adventures!<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are links to details about a few of my projects. \u200bFor most of these projects I have recruited some professional help as the work being done was either beyond my skill set or I did not have enough time to do it all myself (or both!).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
