I am retired at 59, from Chicago suburbs to SC Illinois 25 acre mini farm. I don,t hire anyone to do my work except drywall"LOL". I have saw mill and just finished cutting maple trees, sawing into boards, then plane, join and installed 1000 sq ft in LR floor. I found my current by accident 1989 Ozark 174 fish ski with Force 85 hp. complete rebuilt power head, lower unit. Motor runs fantastic. I have the tools and much experience except I have never done any fiberglass. This is my learning time for next year rebuild. I am building garage shop 32x54. Shop will be 22x32 all heated and insulated floor. Over winter I will finish interior. This will be my rebuild area. My demo area is a 30x40 old barn shed. Just today found 6 more old boats 4 with old motors no idea of condition all with trailers can get all for $600.
Right now I,ll do mine first then find out if I want to do more. I build furniture etc that is what mill and shop were for. This may be lucrative.
I see all the videos and tags for major work doesn,t scare me. I need to learn alot. What I don,t see are threads for putting it all back together.
Like my boat I hate layout and want to make new smaller consoles, pedistal seating, flip down rear seats, provide bigger fishing decks etc.
Big list lots of time.
Thank you ALL
