I didn't mean to sound like tying to bayliner or mold #'s made it valuable. or priceless. sorry if that was the thought.
What I meant was the shop talk of restoring said above after it was completed could be pretty neat. and not something many would come across, or around here anyway.
I did place family and memories among the key reasons. And.
Doing a full resto is costly and labor intensive.. many hours and headaches.
Thats what this next statement translates to.
*It also helps to keep a resto a hobby or labor of love rather than a job, chore or a hole in the water you are throwing money into.*
On an additional note that I didn't include.
The reason I'm doing a resto.
I enjoy it, it keeps my idle time busy.
The self satisfaction of accomplishment and knowing how well things were done.
In other words. I don't have to worry about some sloppy, 1/2 way done job.
And I can hand pick all the hardware that I like right now, not something someone pulled of a shelf for me that I would change out later.
