As far as progress goes demoing a boat cost no money electricity is provided, cutting disc are $1 each, sanding disc $5, labor is free..
Rebuilding a boat doesnt cost cents it doesnt cost dollars however it does cost thousands of dollars i am very far from having money in my bank.. i buy what i can with what i have and make the most of it i dont have a spare $14,000 to have a shop rebuild my boat in 4 weeks flat i dont have another $7000 to buy a trailer i dont have $14,000 to just go buy a new engine what i do have is the knowledge to buy shit cheap and repair it my self that is my way of achiving my own goals
By me doing build along threads is not to entertain you or anyone else its simply just to share my experience, ask advice and get some feedback..
To put it simple my builds will take as long as they take wether your still around to see the finish or not i'm not doing it just for yours or anyone elses satisfaction mate
If u knew me in person i am a basic person that doesnt plan and doesnt like a cluttered life, i do as i want when i like and when i feel like doing it
I would love to have the motivation i had at 18 but i dont
Not everyone in life is in the same pot a lot of what u dont see is what people dont tell u, if i could have hired someone to come out and do all my work on my boat i could lead u all to believe im a A grade shipwright but what u see is my work and my effort albeit slow i am still getting somewhere
