Wasn't it sometime in October that Skippy got hauled to do a simple
bottom job?
LOL! That means it's close to a year and he's STILL on the hard.
Good
Grief!
Let's look at the cost of the lay days alone.
365 days at 15 dollars a day = $5,475
365 days at a 50 dollar a day materials cost = $18,250
365 days figuring ten bucks per hour labor cost = $3,650
Skippy probably pays for metered electricity at about $25 per month
=
$300
Travel lift in and out = $250
Ben Gay and other meds for the old aching back = $100
Let's assume water is no charge.
So the approximate bill to date for Flying Pig, an old Morgan that
MIGHT
fetch about 30 grand these days, amounts to 28,025 bucks. WOW! Talk
about throwing good money after bad!!!
Doesn't this beat all?
Well nothing is cheaper than that five gallon drum of really ugly
paint you rolled onto your boat that never moves.
Can you say, "professionally sprayed ImronŽ"

I thought it was against the law for DuPont to offer that color in the
U.S.
Back in the early 1980's when it was professionally sprayed it was still
legally available . . .
