Re: Mechanic
I don't know what you're level of knowledge re; machinery is but there's always a whole raft of jobs you can do yourself. The trick is gaining confidence in your ability. When I started we had a family full of boating knowledge with wooden boats, over the years as they passed away I found I was more able and willing to take on some work I'd normally turn down. I now have a confidence built over years of good friendships with like minded folk who use boats. This board has also given me back a lot of the knowledge from older, wiser folk so once again I can pick folks brains. <br />Do your own work, seek advice, make contacts with the board often, but do look around for a mechanic as there will always be some work you don't want to do.<br />I know this is long winded but hey, you asked.....<br />Good luck<br />Ross
