Most annoying thing about owning the V boat
Or, what relatively little issue can annoy to no end........
To me - it's stains. Yup, nasty stains on the deck, usually the floor that are darn near impossible to remove. Now that's why I sometimes think about owning a beat up but reliable rig. Stained, marked up, chipped, no shine, work boat. No waxing, never mind washing . Like a beat up old car that runs fine. Door ding ? Who cares etc etc.... I just hit some stains from all the work I've been doing on the deck with every cleaner I've got to get it back to where I want it. Heck of a lot of work.

to me, every scar tells a story. i've had this boat 20 years and worn out 2 motors on it. if soft scrub won't get it out, it stays. when we go to a raft up with other families, the kids always migrate to the v. they love to jump off the bow and swim back to the platform, scurry through the windshield and do it again. the other boats are newer, bigger , shiney and polished, and not kid-friendly.
no trailer queens for me, i'll clean & buff it when i get to old to take it out.

Most annoying thing for me is hitting my head on the bow flare when i get done winching it on. Stains? Thats what paint is for.

MaryKate On & Off hull and bottom cleaner. Serious stuff...follow all directions and use protection, but it will remove stains like nothing else, and will not harm fiberglass. This stuff contains a combo of hydrochloric, oxalic and phosphoric acids, so be careful with it and ONLY use it outdoors... NOT in a garage. It does NOT contain Muriatic acid. Gloves, Goggles, long sleeve shirt and pants, and a Vapor Mask are manditory.

For me its the way the transom wants to yaw out when the bow entry hooks into the backside of a quartering sea.

Most annoying? Hmmmmm...
1) Being dead on empty and having to fill it up. 2) Trailer & watercraft registration. 3) Not getting to use it every day. 4) 60 gallons is not quite enough, need 80 (but that would make #1 even worse!)
