Winter project
I decided today to pick up a Hydrostream Ventura 2 that needs a core and everything else as well. Everytime I re-do a boat, I swear I'll never do another one, but then 2 or 3 years go by and I start thinking..... does this happen to anyone else?

No, nobody else is that sick. You have a sickness that is yours alone. You are isolated and out of touch with reality. Bringing boats home that need a total restoration, what's wrong with you, weirdo!

When you get the hair, there's no stopping it. The last two I laid eyes on followed me home. I may not have been much help. Originally Posted by rkmirage

I can relate. I Bought a boat again today actually. It's a sickness I don't really want to cure.

You won't regret it. It's a great hull. I told myself I would never do another one three boats ago...

I would like to get the core done this Winter and maybe paint, Rigging it after it starts getting hot again won't be too bad, I'm not grinding glass when its hot out.

Got it home today, spent the day cleaning it and deciding what part to tackle first. I'm excited to do it, I'm going to do a thread on it so I stay motivated, If anyone see's me slacking, call me out!
