[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 107893, member: 863"] I appreciate it a lot. I have created a sort of project file in Excel to track what I have done and what I want to do. I'd use MS project, but that might be overkill for what I want to do, I really just want to track the tasks I'd like to do, how much I project that they will cost, how much they actually cost, etc. I hate being limited by $$ with a project like this, it can make getting any momentum going pretty difficult. I am considering selling a motorcycle to fund this project. I have an older Vulcan 1500 that I've had a long time and have enjoyed a ton, but now that I have a big touring bike as my daily "commuter car", the Vulcan has become more of just a toy. It's not worth a fortune, but it is a nice bike, and it would easily fund this boat project, and buy me a handfull of rods and reels (which I have very few of anymore) to boot. Decisions, decisions... In the mean time, the cheap stuff I can probably do pretty soon would be the trailer mods, and some paint stripping. I have lots I can read here that will help me decide what method I should use. I cringe when I read about it taking someone 30 hours to strip their boat, but if that's what it takes... as long as I get to take fishing breaks inbetween :) [/QUOTE]
