Well, since I spent $5K on last years "projects" (mainly: replace/upgrade
steering and engine controls, replace 4D house battery with golf-cart, and
add holding tank), I'm gonna try and beat that by replacing the engine
(Conservative estimate $10K). SWMBO wants to replace the main cabin
upholstery, and I need to re-seat the windows, fix the mast collar and
possibly repaint. Oh, and sand and re-oil the teak.

That's Far Cove. Then there's: Make a floor for the Tin Boat (still doesn't
have a name), repaint Miss Lily, touch up the paint on Near Cove's engine
....

And, once I've replaced Far Cove's engine, I'm thinking of building an
18-ft trawler to put the old one in...

All this, and I'm just finishing rebuilding the roof for the shop at the
back of the house, re-doing the electrical in the shop, helping SWMBO
build a habitat for Avalon the Boa...

Gee, no wonder I no longer seem to have time to go skiing!

This summer was WAY too short.

I already had a mid-summer project thanks to a drunk kid (sigh)
MY main goal is to move south if the house ever sells.

Past that I wanna fix the leak-down on the power trim on the PM-II and at
some point trick out the powerhead which is mostly stock. (that's real sad
considering what I've been doing)

Where are you heading to, Clams? You might like NE Florida. Four actual
seasons (very short and mild winter, beautiful spring, long hot summer
and beautiful fall), and housing prices aren't too bad. Anywhere from
north of Orlando south, and Florida is too damned hot from April to the
end of October.

Plenty of boating opportunites in NE Florida, too. Fresh and salt water,
and a mix.

Actually anywhere but HERE, like where the water doesn't freeze.
My wife is scouring the web daily finding cheap lakefront stuff.
We can get into a place cash for $120k - those are out there too.

The disease you are suffering from is called boat builder's ambition.
Sheesh. What a list.
