Good advice. I'm mentally editing and revising it a bit for my own situation. The basic thread seems to be ingenuity. I'm pretty good at that. What is the stainless/aluminum bracket for?

Here's my CODE or ethic about such matters.. "Disposable Income" will never exsist nor should decision makeing revolve around borrowing cash or "streaching" the family budjet.. *Boats.. as well as a long line of other "hobbies/toy's/passions" must fit inside a positive view of wealth. IMHO~ "Poverty" is only the lack of a good plan to aquire the resources to achieve success. A Rich man can be "Poor" in spirit or mindset, and bound in chains of his own makeing. A Man with zero cash.. can become rich very quick with an idea or useing resources to step up to a larger bite of life. *Trade'n up or the art of the "deal" has allways been man's best way to aquire wealth. You can put food on the table by working for "the man" but 99.9% of the time you will never get "rich" working for him. > Maybe > they sold it.

Build it cheap.. then upgrade- Go to a WEB search engine and type: "Build a sailboat" Suggestion #2 Clean up the house of un-wanted stuff, yard sale it and use the cash as seed money on the "dream" Suggestion #3 *There is NO shortange of boats that never see the water.. *Find a few and talk to the owner about that...<G> Suggestion #4 *Speak out on a goal..dream/desire! *Pray about it untill you find peace.. and then look for something to come by that will work to move you forward on that goal.. *Here's my update about SPARTEN -------------------------------- Cdr.Jen bucked... $5k for a derilict? NO WAY! *Now I get to figure out what it is I LOVE about the boat.. while I may prefere SPARTEN to $5K us dollars, I understand Cdr.Jen's concern.. On my side.. I enjoyed the boat yard and the crazy owners of other sailboats on the "hard" in the yard.. I offered to the owner of SPARTEN to help fabricate a small project out of aluminum or stainless steel just to see if such work would be fun.. A small bracket or mount could be made out of scrap at no charge. Doing the "project" grants me access to SPARTEN and the owners plans and knoledge of the boat. *I get free education and learn more about Sailboats for just my time invested.. SPARTEN get's a new stainless bracket.. *I get wisdom-insight.. Good Trade! Q? am I telling the "Truth"?? Is my thinking straight?
