RE: Earnestly Seeking Advice

Ron, just two statements...make that three...maybe four....

1. Like Marin said....

2. Like GaryP said..."Don't strive for perfection (very expensive), strive for reliable and good enough." Absolutely right. I'm still working on getting my 1975 CHB 34 absolutely as imperfect as I can...and enjoying every minute of it, because I have learnt I can live without perfection...it just needs to work, and look ok.

...and like Edleweiss said...

3. Girlfriends and wives who truly love boating are few and far between, cherish them!

4. If you love the water and boating, don't sweat the cost. It still beats gambling, drugs, alcohol and loose women.
