What would you do if a new boat shows up in the next slip

[Mint Buster]

and is a old POS Marina Gas Bomb. Just wondering since I know of a guy who has a slip for many years. The slip next to him opened up and a guy shows up with a 25+ year old boat with twin inboard gassers. From what my friend says the guy is a bit of a prick and he only opens the hatches to the engines for about a minute before starting them. Apparently he doesn't use the blowers. My friend tried to talk to him about it but the guy has a "holier than thou" attitude and actually told my friend to GFY. I told him sounds like a recipe for a disaster.

I'd give him a Viking Funeral......in his own boat......

WAFI's and Marina Gas Bomb boat owners are in a league all of their own. Cheapness and stupidity are the ultimate rule

I'd make sure my boat is well insured under an agreed hull value policy with proper documentation and the policy paid in full at the first billing cycle. Lots and lots of pictures showing it's true condition as well.

I swear I'm the only guy around me who opens the deck hatch when refueling plus I know how many gallons it should take to fill the tank.

I've seen a few Marina Gas Bomb owners fill up the "tank" through their rod holder. Doesn't seem to work out too well for them

It can be dangerous, especially with loose plug wires. I think if he told me to GFO, I'd make him aware of his boats future disabilities, and that it didn't have to be that way.

Report the situation to the marina management. They are sitting on a time bomb, too.

I might ask his user name on boating forums.

Or bike trailering forums.
