You have to teach em at a young age.....
So my 10 year old son just experienced his first 'transom replacement' .....George/ghost28 generously gave my son a little 4 hp motor for his rowboat after he recently passed his licensing test. The big day came, George brought over the motor, but the transom was a little thick, so we started cutting some of it to slip the outboard on and we realized...crap the whole transom is rotted through! I mean it was like paper mache in there..so George being the great guy he is coordinated a quick transom replacement.....as I told my son...get used to this kid !
And thanks George for always stepping up!

Good job George, whoever you are. Nothing better than getting one started in the sport and more importantly teaching them a bit about it. My hat is off to you.

This is a great story, this kid will learn pride of ownership unlike the rest of today's brats who are just handed new stuff to trash up.

Awesome dad and that's a hell of a nice thing to do George. I love seeing young people doing stuff like boating and hot rods, anything outdoors.
