Some of us are within spitting distance of your friend's age and still
able to navigate... I am starting on the building of a 50 foot power
cat... The cement crew is supposed to put in a 40X80 work slab next
week and I hope to have a crew starting on the boat within two weeks
after that... Just ordered $10,000 worth of marine plywood, etc...
Looks doubtful to get it in the water and down south before freezeup
this year... The plan was to start in December for a July launch but
the architect, who is lots younger than me, can't seem to keep up...
Given the delay I chose not to purchase an industrial building on the
water for the work site... Now, we will build it on my property in two
sections and truck it to the water and final assemble there... Which
saves me a bunch of dollars which doesn't hurt my feelings...
Projects like this keep a fella young, keep him near the lake looking
at the girls in their bikinis, which keeps my wife busy keeping an eye
on me... It's a win-win all around..
