Default This restoration is expensive..HELP.

OK, here is what I have purchased for the restoration of my 1977 20 sf.
New in the box Yamaha 200hpdi
various gauges and crap off ebay
Birdsall Marine small console
Birdsall Marine mini rocket launcher/leaning post
all new flush mounted hardware,rod holders,cleats etc
seastar tilt helm
I am raising the rear boxes, replacing the transom and adding 5 inches to the height, replacing all wiring and hoses, new awlgrip inside and out, glassing in part of the storage/rod pockets up front.
I can't stop, I am out of control, please help me before I have invested 50k in a 15k project. I blame it all on you guys.

I keep lots of Miller lite, but my real concern is what is going to happen when my wife finds out how much this is costing.. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

dont forget that any hatch that moves, opens, closes, doors plus any and all trim need, no not need but MUST- be changed out for teak- just so after you get the boat all back together and ready to rock- you always have an "excuse" to go play on the boat- example-"if I dont keep 'er oiled she dries all up and turns grey"
hahaha- good luck and have fun!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

It does my heart good to see someone else infected with the same bug I got. You might as well give in to it your infected and you will never be the same again. We all here are one sick group of people. I don’t quite know how it happened but it did happened it’s kind of like Love you will end up doing some Crazy Sh** after that bug hits you as well.
Rx script: Take two beers and you will feel better in the morning.

Riff, just paid the ultimate price for working on my boats. Seven year girlfriend/fiance, left just four days before the one year anniversary of my Dad's passing. Two years rebuilding his Jersey Speed Skiff, and one year restoring my '82 Whaler. Should have been home instead. Don't lose focus, it ain't worth it. Oh and the fourteen beers a day never helped much either. Good Luck from Bluffton. Vezo, Part II.
