And the verdict is?

After a few days of deliberation, I have decided to scrap this season.  I know, the season has not even started yet, but I don't have the time to get the boat fully stripped, painted, and re assembled.  With that being the case, I will be moving the boat from its current location to my parent's house and building a bow shed so that I can work on the boat year-round and during inclement weather.  This was a hard pill to swallow, but I think it is the right choice.  Plus, then I can do the things I need to do correctly.  I can pull all the deck hardware, do a proper job sealing all of the thru-deck holes, take time to do a proper rather than a rush paint job, and finally finish the interior.  This is a restoration project, and since I have learned that everything takes longer than it takes, I am just going to accept that the boat is going to be on land for another season.  Its a sad day, but I think it is for all the right reasons.
