Jeff, You have done a great job. Not sure if you got the taxes back from the tax man, but, if ya did, you could grab Blues boat, toss a motor on and be in the water. BLUES boat is nice. And if ya got the room in the yard, keep the project V and keep going with her. Ive always wanted to tear a v apart and put her back together. You accomplished alot more then I ever had. Wish you were closer, love to spend a day laying some glass with ya. ;) If you decide to Go for it, guys are here to walk you through each step of the way. It's abit funny now, but when I bought my V, I seens chunks and gouges out of the hull and one guy said teh transom was bad because the back of the transon wasnt flat all the way acoss. Well, it shows how much they knew. My transom is fine and I did the hull repairs myself and I'm actually quite happy with my V. Let us know what ya decide.
I personally say GO FOR it, but that me. *;)
