Boatman-

Maybe more delusional than dreaming. A crime to see a Contessa so neglected.

Re: Why wait.. Buy now and just Go For It...

He seems to have the right attitude. Not all these stories end in tears. I hope he was kidding/exagurating about being broke because nothing more expensive than a cheap boat.

Lots of people enjoying the fixing up part of a fixer uper. The problem is when they can't afford the required fixes and the boat just slowly transforms into a decaying hulk.

Re: Why wait.. Buy now and just Go For It...

I did a project boat once. I discovered I am a very slow yard worker. And I had started the project in a very poor location. Cold in the winter and hot and muggy in the summer. It wasn't the complexity that did me in, it was the logistics.

Re: Why wait.. Buy now and just Go For It...

I feel like he's making fun of us
I saw a couple of videos and he seems to know more than he's letting on.
"zero experience" is something different

Just a (good) new way to catch followers and like on You Tube (IMHO)
