Russ: we're going to let them do the scraping and painting, our backs just aren't up to it. It'll cost $1000, but that's pretty cheap considering we've got 4 years out of the last one. There's a heat factor down here too, some things it's best to just let the young guys tackle.

this is a good ideal the amish guys turned me on to some solar refrigeration units. on a boat you can tie them in to the house power and use the gen, power converter or the sun or both to recharge the batterys
in areas the power goes out a lot there a good ideal.

hunt around for the best deal.

if you have rust try some stuff called "rust aid" to clean the boat. i heard it from a guy i work with he says its the best. its hard to find, thats what he used on the boats he worked on.
