That's not a "project boat" it's not a boat of any kind. It is a
lifetime project.. That is going to take a lot more than spit &
polish. It's going to take at least $100K in materials and tens of
thousands of man hours before it's ready to float.

Besides being a pointy steel box, it's got a Detroit diesel. It will
never ever look like the boat in the picture.

If you had a million dollars, you might be able to pay me to take this
"boat." Or it might take two million and a gun.
