 Dream boat = nightmare boat, especially when the eyes
 are bigger than the stomach and the dream is based upon
 magazine articles and/or other forms of mass ignorance.
It was a nightmare but I understood that at the price he paid LH for a 
keel up custom boat he had reasonable expectation of good engineering, 
good production and therefore a good result.
I crewed on an 85' sailing yacht which was enormously complex but 
engineered / designed for easy access to all systems. So when things 
went awry, which wasn't that common, they were easily, quickly and 
cheaply addressed.
That's proper design.
