Hello Kevin. Welcome to the best damn boating site on the internet. Don't worry about picking our brains, we speak "insane" fluently here. If fact, many of our members are professors with PHD's in it.
Seriously though. Just a friendly tip. If you look at the whole job you will soon loose interest. Don't try and do the whole thing all at once. Think of the upcoming renovations and repairs as a large banquet. Of course you can't eat the entire thing in one sitting. But if you take small bites, and savior each morsel, before you know it the entire meal will be gone. The same thing applies to your project. Make a list of things that need to be done. Tackle each part as it's own project and savior it when that part is finished. Before you know it, the whole job will be done, you'll be on the water and the envy of many a boater.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
