I think most of the people on this board are a combination of diy and hands on. we are a site devoted to a boat that has been out of production for more than a decade. the older i get, the more i realize that is is usually better to do what i do for a living & pay some one else to do what they do for a living.

As I get a better grasp on middle age, I am starting to realize the same thing. OF course most of my life I COULDN"T afford to pay to have it done. I mean, if money were no object I'd have a fleet of boats for every purpose ;D

if i could afford to pay someone else to do my hobby i wouldn't have a 20 yr old boat it would be a new one

But it also depends on your line of work. As a contractor, the more work Lumber can perform, the more revenue he can produce.....so get out there and produce that revenue. Most of us probably have a steady income. IF I work 30 or 80 this week, I wind up with the same check.

Airslot, I'd pick 30. ;D

Congrats on the new pusher LS. *

I'm sure you did good on the price but wow, I can't believe how much an outboard motor costs these days.

As for DIY or pay, I have no choice, I don't have the money.
