Default Question- most ambitious boat project

No real big projects on my boat, a bunch of odds and ends. The
biggest was replacing the head, hoses and a bigger holding tank.
Scraping , then sanding the old bottom paint off was more of a
PITA.

A general question- what is the most ambitious boat repair
or improvement project you've accomplished? What project
would you like to take on?

I know of people who have rewired boats, repowered, repaired
major hull damage, and so on. I met a lot of sailors who
seem reluctant to take on big projects, and we other who are
perpetually working on their boats.

At the moment I'm putting a new deck on our tugboat. But I'd
rank that as mundane, the toughest project I've tried is
making a competitive racing baby out of a 20 year old
Lightning. This went through 3 phases, the first two were
moderate successes and I never got to try the final result.
