Believe me , if you had a 60 ft Trumhpy , you purchased supplys , but never cleaned (or used) a varnish or paint brush, ever.
If you had the wherewithal to buy a Trumpy of course you'd have help to do the maintenance. Just like if you had the funds to buy a McMansion on the beach you'll have helpers (pool boy, lawn maintenance, cleaning ladies, etc.) and possibly a chauffeur to drive the kidlets to school.
Trumpys were not bought by folks living on a financial edge. Ditto the old Hatts, Burgers.
I suspect most 60'ers and up have crew quarters in their design. Someone is taking care of the boat and the owners when they are aboard.
The owner might do things aboard because he gets pleasure from solving a problem. Changing the oil? Not likely. There are jobs worth hiring out and I suspect as the available funds increase the likelihood of work being contracted out.
