To take on or not to take on?

[Wildman]

Unless you know you can commit most all of your winter weekends to the project time would be the only issue from my experience

My question would be, do you like to fish and boat more or work with your hands on projects? If you tackle all these things at once your boat will be down for quite a while, (most of next year is my bet) do it in steps to start, make it safe and useable then work from there.
