I get the OPs frustration. Someone at work without a boat asked me if there was such a thing as "Honda" boats that just run for years with no maintenance involved other an oil change. I had to disappoint him, there really is no such thing and not at the airport either. I knew a guy that got tired of fixing 40 year old airplanes, bought a new one, and said he NEVER had so many problems with the old ones as now
Also, if you are used to cars, a new boat has an engine warranty from the engine builder, the electronics was warrantied from their manufacturer, and so on. What - you thought it was a car and the dealer would just fix it
* this is actually a common progression with new powerboat owners. They see a runabout with low payments and no money down. It is fun for awhile, but soon enough it has issues and it ends up in the yard collecting leaves and then goes on Craigslist with a tree growing in it.
