You Might Have a Project Boat If...

[Ex-Calif]

At the risk of some painful poking fun...

You might have a project boat if...

- You build a permanent deck around it on the hard
- You have a mast but just don't know where it is right now
- You don't have any sails but that is OK, they are last on the "to-do" list
- Your tools needed list is longer than your to-do list

others?

You've renamed your boat Insufficient Funds.

[Khagan1227]

You have hoses and wires sticking out of places you never knew existed.

[Reefmagnet]

There's barnacles on the inside of the hull

[rebel heart]

You carry more than one specie of spare lumber underway.

When you tell people when it was built they say "When!!??"

When you tell people which boat is yours and they say: "oh" and then just sorta walk away.

Steel costs $.90 a pound. You bought 40,000 pounds of it for $.14... do the math.

You might have a project boat if it's stored on the hard, and yet you're STILL afraid it is going to sink.

- You are 2 years into your 3 month circumnavigation preparation...
- You are considering pulling out the wiring you put in because the AYBC specs have changed since then
- While you are at it maybe change those oil lamps for incandescent or even this new fangled LED stuff I hear tell about
- When you installed the batteries there was only one type - they had screw tops and distilled water

When there is more water in the boat than around it.

when people ask if that is going to be a new artifical reef some where.

when you have a washing machine permantly mounted on the deck.

when the only signs of life are birds and bird droppings all over the boat.

[Rocketman]

when you have gained more sailing knowlage through this crusiers forum than you have actually sailing.

Your nut & bolt merchant adds you to their christmas card list

I think we are getting project boats confused with dock queens, although they aren't mutually exclusive.

You might have a project boat if *you wish* your boat could be a dock queen.

[Rocketman]

when the West Marine employee's ask you where something is in there store.

[Sailorman375]

When your contacts list has more marine contractors than friends.

[Ex-Calif]

- When someone at the club mentions changing their sheets and you are thinking about plywood
- Someone mentions a "sail" this weekend and you ask if the destination is West Marine or Defender
