In Response To: Re: Thinking of Jumping In! (Kelly)

And what would you call recomending to a guy who by his own admission has no experience in major boat repairs with basic mechanical abilities, wanting to take on a bashed up 31?

Those that say go for it have no concept of whats involved and have little thought for what this guy is in for.

Were not talking about dropping 25 bucks here.
50G's at a minimum.
Now maybe that's a drop in a hat to some, but if this guy had that kind of dough to throw around he wouldn't be looking at a restoration project. He'd buy something off the rack.

This guy deserves thoughtful and accurate advice.
After all, that's why he posted here.

BTW, my comments are not meant in a hateful manner.
They are not sugar coated and have no empty calories.
