Doug,
Ah HaH the real reason comes to the fore! Of course, the hull is finished,
now the boat project really starts. Advise to those builders that think they
want to build themselves is to build backwards. Acquire all the hardware,
fittings, engine, mast, rigging and sails first, then build the boat. If at
some time, you cannot handle the cost, you can back out by simply selling
the unused, new equipment and you haven't invested in the overheard of
maintaining a construction site. Failure becomes affordable.

But then you can't move out of your house and live under the upside-down
90% completed hull...

half seriously, I wonder if this guy did not ever hear & read the old
boatbuilding cliche "the hull is only 20% of the cost of the boat." Or
maybe he did, but didn't believe it?
