Thinking of Jumping In!

The long and short: I am seriously considering making a 31 my first "adult" boat. There are a couple in my area (Alabama Gulf Coast) that need restoration, especially after the last two hurricanes. Two concerns: I know NOTHING about 31s (except that I have a strange attraction to them) and while I am mechanically inclined and quite handy, I have never restored a boat. Am I nuts? Any advice for a novice is appreciated!
