"Been on a boating sabbatical
"Been on a boating sabbatical for a while... after 6 months of paying a broker $100/month to end up not selling the boat, I decided to bring it home and get her ready to slip again.
I've been going over everything, and the one thing that keeps me awake at night is whether to replace the boots or not. It's an Alpha I/Gen 2 outdrive. From the outside the boots look the same as they have since I bought the boat 6 years ago. No idea if they've been replaced before that, the boat is a '97.
Obviously there would be some peice of mind in replacing them, but that also requires a good deal of work.
Thoughts?"
